How more endurance could reshape Narvik

At Narvik, longer-ranged German destroyers might have avoided the fuel trap that left them vulnerable after the first fighting.

Notes

Better engines would leave the German destroyers' weapon and organizational weaknesses in place. A technically impressive weapon could still be poorly suited to a small ship that had to maneuver hard during torpedo attacks and withdrawal. The change concerns the logistical trap created when fuel shortage and the loss of a tanker restricted their movements. Diesel endurance could allow the ships to land troops, withdraw, and avoid being trapped for the later battles of Narvik. The scenario changes range alone, leaving the destroyers' guns and doctrine as they were.
