There are two animations, based on the chapter by Peter Reaveley in Jean Boudriout's classic book published by the Naval Institute in 1987:

• One allows you to step through the battle, with Reaveley's three maps combined on a single screen.

• One has each map as a separate animated GIF, with automatic advances.

  • From noon until 1920

  • From 1920 to 2000

  • From 2000 to 2005
