In addition to the map, rulebook, and counters, you will receive two blinds, four ship charts, and five player aid sheets. The blinds, printed in top-quality card-stock, are used to hide your Ship and Fleet charts from your opponent. The ship charts keep track of the damage your warships have sustained and their level of coal stocks. The Germans must keep track of all of their ships with such detail while the Allies, who in total have more than three dozen ships, only have to keep track of their ten largest warships. Damage and coal usage in their smaller ships are abstracted for ease of play. The player aids contain information for quick reference, lists the amount of coal available in each port, and lists the gunnery, speed, and armour ratings of every ship.
