Plot: NS16L plot

The view looking SE. Light cruiser screens have just spotted each other at 20,000 yards.

View looking N. The British have deployed to the south and then turned east. The Germans have sailed north and then west.

The dreadnought divisions spiral closer. British light forces are staying out of range of the deadly 15cm guns on the German dreadnoughts.

The British light cruisers stage a suicidal attack to cover the torpedo attack of the destroyers. The destroyers have turned away after they launched.

The game was ended at this point due to time. A few additional turns were played on the computer. The German dreadnoughts avoided the torpedo attack, although two light cruisers were hit.
