Royal Hellenic Navy's Cruiser Force 1925-41

I've updated the Barbaros according to DG_Alpha's kind advice. I hope the floater problem is resolved!

Very nice work,I like this thread!

I think you're underestimating the impact the lack of maintenance will have. I wouldn't be surprised if you're looking at a 30% reduction in power within a year. The flood damage is going to make that much worse.

Anyway, are we going to see any lighter units such as torpedo boats and such?

[bezobrazov]

No, Thiel, I'm not underestimating it at all, though I do appreciate you bringing it to the surface, since it'll make my follow-up story much easier to write. And that, my friend, is what I ought to have done already, to explain the catastrophic outcome of the first phase of Turkey's involvement in WW2. But it'll come, I promise. As for lighter units, yes I do plan a whole array, though, I have to admit I'm still in, what can be termed a 'planning-phase'.

bezo hasn't been that active lately, so I suppose there is for now nothing coming.

Reopeningthis thread with a thorough update and editof the Olympia, found on the first page and similar edits of the Thessaloniki and Athinai found on p. 2. I'm hoping that the RHN:s cruiser force can join the effort to combat Thiaria and see its units in action against this Axis power.

YES! I loved this thread...can't wait to see the revamp!

[eltf177]

Glad to see this thread revived!

Olympia, depicted during 1940/41 has been updated. I repainted the hull to more closely confirm to the USN Measure 5-N (Navy Blue), using Colo's terrific palette! I also edited her looks somewhat, and streamlined such things as the armor belt. (Also on the peace-time Olympia of 1935 p. 1) The wartime Olympia can be found on p. 15. Philadelpheia soon to follow. Stay tuned.

And, if there's any takers on this AU somehow co-existing with those excellent ones such as Koko and Thiaria, why not shoot me a message with ideas how it could be done?!?
