    These rules provide a framework for linking the naval combat systems of the GMT games Iron & Oak and Rebel Raiders on the High Seas. When a naval engagement occurs in Rebel Raiders, the ships and batteries involved can be resolved using Iron & Oak components instead of the Rebel Raiders rules. Key steps include selecting corresponding Iron & Oak ship models at random and deploying them on the Iron & Oak map to fight according to its rules. Surviving ships return to the Rebel Raiders map.

    Design Note: There are three two-section batteries (Fort Gaines Fortress Battery, Fort Morgan Water Battery, and Vicksburg 'Bluffs' Battery), plus the four-section Fort Morgan Fortress Battery in IRON & OAK (see below graphic for an example). Each section takes the same number of hits/crew losses to put out of action, though the "armor" and especially the guns mounted are different.
