I only know that SMS Moltke was one of the BCs and that she lost one of her propellers with serious damage in the engine room early on April 24th.
This does not happen in the scenario, making the Germans even stronger.
It also seems that the SAI scenario is wrong about the date, since it starts in the night of April 24 while I know that the Hochseeflotte sailed in the evening of April 23.
I believe the ships would be the following:
Hindenburg, Derfflinger, Moltke, Von Der Tann, Seydlitz – 1st SG
Konigsberg, Karlsruhe, Pill, Nurnberg, Koln, Dresden, Graudenz – 2nd SG
