The technology screen places naval blockade tactics, mine development, and manoeuvre-warfare training in competition for research attention. Magnetic and more advanced mines receive priority because they promise an immediate improvement to mine warfare. Choosing one line means delaying another, so research behaves as an opportunity-cost problem rather than a free bonus. The moment treats mines as a strategic capability within the campaign rather than a background hazard.
