The campaign's battlecruisers exploit numerical superiority against two battleships. The plan is to keep firing at long range and have the ships attack together, because an isolated battlecruiser is poorly suited to a direct fight with a battleship. The surrounding battlecruisers divide the French formation and eventually bring fire onto it from several directions. The result illustrates force concentration: speed and numbers can create a favourable tactical problem, but they do not make capital-ship armour irrelevant.
