Game designs based on Tiger and Derfflinger illustrate a meeting between independently operating battlecruisers. The Derfflinger model is substantially overweight and carries extra armour added for an earlier battleship scenario. Repeated runs produce different outcomes, including two in which both ships sink. Even when one ship survives the immediate exchange, the damage leaves its survival in doubt. These outcomes illustrate the risks of a duel, while the altered designs limit conclusions about a historical encounter.

Tiger and Derfflinger in a simulated duel
Repeated simulated duels produce different winners and mutual sinkings, using a Derfflinger model with more armour than the historical ship.
