What comes with the PDF Rules and the Expansion Scenario PDF?
Both have printable versions of everything you need to play the game and expansion scenarios (except dice): The rules, all the charts and tables, and ships and gameboards. You can then add on ship sets, dice, or anything else to make a custom set.

Are the miniatures painted?
The miniatures are not painted and pictured as they will be delivered. Ours are cast in metal, unlike 3D printed models that are frequently made with clear plastic (and need to be painted to use them). However, the metal miniatures take paint very well if you want to add more detail to your fleet

What scenarios are included in the Expansion Scenario PDF?
Expansion Scenario PDF contains 9 different scenarios:
Some of the scenarios would be fun with more than two players. Others would play well as solo games too. Lonnie says he is still ironing out the details on some of these scenarios, thus names and ship types may change before he is finished creating them all. What follows is a list of names with a bit of info on the scenario:
1 The Battle of Denmark Strait (5/24/1941) - A momentous clash.
Hood, Prince of Wales, Norfolk, Suffolk Vs. Bismarck, Prinz Eugen
2 The Battle of Denmark Strait Redux (Hypothetical June 1941) - What if Scharnhorst was ready?
Hood, Prince of Wales, Norfolk, Suffolk Vs. Bismarck, Scharnhorst, Prinz Eugen
3 Desperate Measures (May 27, 1941) - Bismarck with some emergency rudder repairs attempts an escape.
King George V, Rodney, Norfolk, Dorsetshire, 4 DDs Vs. Bismarck
4 Atlantic Sweep (Hypothetical July 1941) - Defend a convoy against the wolves.
Ramillies, 2 DDs. and a convoy Vs. Hipper, Scheer

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
