The campaign formation contains two nominal three-ship screening groups, yet the game places four light cruisers on one side and two on the other. A regular formation should distribute them three to each side. Screening strength depends on stationing and geometry as much as the number of assigned ships. The uneven placement leaves one flank comparatively exposed despite an adequate total.

A screen must cover both sides of the formation
Six light cruisers do not form an evenly protective screen when the game places four on one flank and only two on the other.
