Speed and concentration against isolated cruisers

A concentrated battlecruiser-and-destroyer force illustrates how badly isolated cruisers fare when outnumbered and outrun.

Notes

The game encounter emphasizes force concentration rather than a balanced duel. Six battlecruisers, another heavy ship, and a destroyer screen close on a single cruiser. Their speed margin prevents the target from choosing the terms of contact or escaping once found. It is a watch point on the tactical value of pairing fast heavy ships with smaller escorts and applying overwhelming local strength.
