		Battles may be small scale, only involving a handful of individuals, perhaps two squads, up to battles on army levels where hundreds of thousands may be engaged in a single battle at one time.
		A "battle of annihilation" is one in which the defeated party is destroyed in the field, such as the French fleet at the Battle of the Nile.
		A "decisive battle" is one of particular importance; often by bringing hostilities to an end, such as the Battle of Hastings, or as a turning point in the fortunes of the belligerents, such as the Battle of Stalingrad.

		This was the second surface clash in the North Sea theatre and the first major surface action of the war.
		Nine of the German Destroyers were sunk in the attack and subsequent retreat, with a German Minesweeping leader and Minesweeping TBD (which went down under Alex's command pluckily pouring shells from her lone 4pdr gun into a British Destroyer Division as it swept past) also getting caught up in the carnage as they fell back.
		I am making some tweaks to tune some of the battle simulator routines, fix a couple of very minor bugs that surfaced (amazing how playtesting throws up things that test plans do not) and prepare for the next refight in the North Sea campaign, for which the ships are already painted and ready for action........

		The Holy Roman Emperors (962 - 1806) (the "First German Reich") called themselves ''Kaiser''; they saw their rule as a continuation of that of the Roman Emperors and so used the name "Caesar" to reflect their supposed heritage.
		The rulers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (1806 - 1918) also used the title ''Kaiser.'' In English usage, however, the title is mainly associated with the emperors of the unified German Empire (1871 - 1918) (the "Second Reich").
		SMS ''Kaiser'' was the name-ship of the ''Kaiser'' class of battleships of the German Kaiserliche Marine in World War I. She was built at Kiel and was launched on 22 March 1911 and commissioned on 1 August 1912.
