The action pits six British ships against a French force whose most dangerous unit carries 16.4-inch guns. That battlecruiser is a theoretical match for its opponent, but low fuel restricts its movement and leaves the smaller escorts exposed. British fire removes the destroyers and light cruisers first, then concentrates on the remaining capital ship. The process is described as defeat in detail: local superiority and the order of engagement dismantle the French force piecemeal within the game scenario.
