Why it works
The replay peak within the analysed excerpt falls at 0:54.5–1:08.1, where the sponsor ends and carrier markers establish the story on a blue sea. Red route arrows around 2:43–2:48 and 5:54–5:59 make strategic movement legible alongside a narration rich in dates, distances and force counts. The 20 rapid cuts in the first 50 seconds also make the quieter map sequence feel like a clear chapter change.
