British Admiral Jellicoe wanted to take the opportunity, thanks to his superior numbers, to destroy the essentials of the German fleet without major losses. He would thus leave his units free to devote themselves to other strategic objectives, including larger actions in the Mediterranean, an eventual attack in the Baltic to support Russian land forces and protection of the merchant navy in all seas. German Admiral Scheer, for his part, hoped to inflict some serious damage on the British fleet and quickly return to the protected German bay. In the scenario of the war game that will be used, in general terms, the plan of the German naval campaign for the year 1916 would have as its main objective to attract and destroy fractions of the Great British Fleet, for this purpose combining the maximum available means in concentrated actions – that were historically attempted but not coordinated throughout 1916 -, relying on the most reliable weather forecasts possible, against dispersed enemy formations and historically with problems of communication between themselves and between them and the Admiralty.
