The hypothetical ship combines four triple 15-inch mountings, a large 6-inch battery, and a speed of 32 knots. Its displacement is about 53,100 tons, so the scale of the design matters as much as its twelve-gun broadside. Its imagined arrival at Jutland is an extravagant Queen Elizabeth-class counterfactual. The comparison makes the concentration of gun power, speed, and displacement easy to see while keeping the game's design freedom distinct from actual First World War constraints.

A twelve-gun Queen Elizabeth counterfactual
A 53,000-ton campaign design imagines a fast Queen Elizabeth-type battleship with twelve 15-inch guns and asks what such a ship would have meant at Jutland.
