Rather than moving every ship as one mass, the scenario fleet is separated according to role and speed. The heavy ships form a battle line, light cruisers screen it, and Australia with Medusa become a fast detachment capable of 35.2 knots. This arrangement lets the main force retain protection while quicker ships search ahead and close contact. The game abstracts command and control, but the watch point demonstrates why screening and speed-based task organization matter.
