Minor territorial missions justify building cruisers in quantity. A fleet gains value from having enough hulls to cover scattered demands as well as from concentrating a strong battle line. In the scenario, cruisers can collect small objectives while the capital ships remain available for heavier opposition. The mechanic offers an economy-of-force lesson, although its exact territorial rules are specific to the game rather than a universal historical model.
