 Module Instructions 

1. Each U-Boat now has its own window. Click on the button on the toolbar that corresponds to the U-Boat you wish to use.

2. IMPORTANT: Many markers are built into the various windows and displays. Such markers can be identified by a gray border in certain spaces where a marker would ordinarily be placed.

3. You do not need to roll dice and consult the T tables for targets. A counter has been made for all target counters. Targets are in "decks" on the left side of the Combat Display. Drawing a counter from these decks produces a random draw each time. Right-click on the target to flip it over to reveal name and tonnage.

4. A patrol log is on the right of the combat mat. Each month has a box. Dragging a target counter into these boxes will create a running calculation of tonnage sunk and ships sunk. NOTE: you can drag non-target counters into these boxes (like Mine or Mission markers) to mark the success of a patrol that failed to sink anything, BUT because VASSAL counts each counter in each box as a ship counter, the number of ships sunk will be in error until you drag such a counter out of its box.

5. Nearly all of the game's charts have been included (including the superfluous "T" charts in case you prefer to use that method instead of drawing counters from decks).

Enjoy!
