COD Greek Navy WW1

[srgistjr]

Hello. I am new to the forum but thought i would try to add some info on minor ships navies. At present, I am concentrating on the Mediterranean. So here are my ramblings on the Greeks in WW1. Unfortunately, I have no clue on point values... Hope its not too messed up, Eddie

Hope somebody can use these, Eddie

I edited these to delete the main bty and move them to secondaries. That fits them better. I also edited the armor value on Elli. It seems even lightly armored ships have some value due to other factors.

I would like to add one more note to this series. There were two ships that were never delivered to the Greek navy. First was Salamis. It was ordered from German builders but never finished due to the outbreak of World War One. Next was Konstantinos which was ordered from France and was a Bretagne class BB. It also was never finished due to the outbreak of conflict. Some people may want to have some stats in order to handle what-if style games. I have come up with some stats for these ships as well.

Salamis
Battleship 6+
Hull 78
Armor 15
Speed 6
Main Bty
14" 2 G/T [ 2 ] F/P/S
14" 2 G/T [ 2 ] A/P/S
Second Bty
6" 1 G/T [ 6 ] P
6" 1 G/T [ 6 ] S
Torps
20" (13) [ 1 ] F
20" (13) [ 2 ] P
20" (13)) [ 2 ] S

Konstantinos
Battleship 6+
Hull 93
Armor 15
Speed 5
Main Bty
13.3" 2 G/T [ 2 ] F/P/S
13.3" 2 G/T [ 1 ] P/S
13.3" 2 G/T [ 2 ] A/P/S
Second Bty
5,5" 1 G/T [ 11 ] P
5.5" 1 G/T [ 11 ] S
Torps
17.7" (11) [ 2 ] P
17.7" (11) [ 2 ] S

I will start a new thread on the Ottoman Navy next week to have some enemies for the Greeks to fight.
Comments are welcome, Eddie

The Konstantinos is pretty much bang on the stats I have for the WW2 Bretagne. Only difference of note is 13.4"/45 guns instead of the 13.3" you have listed but thats only a minor change. I don't play WW1 but thought I would give you some feedback to let you know you are on the right track when stating out your ships. Nicely done.

Thanks so much for the feedback. Its always gratifying to know I am hitting close to the mark I was really just following all the excellent ship write-ups already here. I hope to drum up more interest in WW One naval battles. The allure of the big ships is thrilling when the guns really start to rumble on the table hehe. I have always been fascinated by the many what-if conflicts possible in the Mediterranean both before, during, and right after the Great War. Anyway, thanks for the comments, Eddie

PS: I am going to be doing a battle in early July positing a conflict between Italy and the USA right after WW One over some of the islands off the coast of Turkey. Ill try to write up an AAR on this.
