A counterfactual transfers the campaign's six giant battleships into the Royal Navy at the beginning of the Second World War. At Denmark Strait, three would accompany two cruisers against Bismarck, an imagined concentration of firepower far beyond the historical force described by the comparison. North Cape is named as another engagement in which to consider their effect. The transfer is explicitly described as magic, so the exercise assumes the ships are available without explaining how Britain could build or support them.

A deliberately game-based counterfactual places the campaign's six 85,000-ton battleships into familiar Royal Navy actions of the Second World War.
