We have been around this a bit, but..
Could it be that Scharnhorst was not damanged, able to join Bismarck? together with Gneisenau ? And then chuck in Tipitz and PE for good measure?
Put a more daring admiral in charge of it, allowing him to engage RN on even terms or better.
Now what? Would they have overwhelmed the cruiser shadow in terms of Norfolk and Suffolk?
Gone chasing after PoWales? finding some convoys?
Battling it out with Force H?
