Using a campaign as alternate naval history

The campaign compares its altered naval balance with the historical world, beginning with Britain’s war against France.

Notes

The campaign is treated as a counterfactual exercise rather than only a game session. Britain's position against France, the distribution of ships and crews, and the territories changed by earlier wars define the opening situation. Alliances, industrial strength, and research priorities matter alongside individual ship designs. Opening here shows how an altered fleet balance produces a different strategic and political map.
