DREDGESilent Service
Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 2
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance4 vs 5
Silent Service leans harder on variance: Convoy composition and detection rolls are hidden randomness
Optimization6 vs 7
Silent Service leans harder on optimization: Torpedo solutions and approach plotting are solvable geometry
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
