Decisions to make:

- for each of your ships, what range are you going to try to maintain
between it and the enemy?
- given that, what formation do you use?
- do you split your force and send some ships round the side?
- given the range you want to maintain, when do you start to turn away
from the enemy?

It's not trivial.
