I have used this ship in GQ3, in a WW2 Mediterranian battle. It was slower than the Italian cruiser Bolanzo, but better armored. Its guns didn't fire as far as the Italian CA, but once in range, it helped pulverize the CA. It was a little faster than the USS Colorado (which hypotheticly could have been in the Med for 0peration Torch) The US BB pounded the Italian BB Litorrio. The battle was fun and different... The Italian BB was sunk , but the lighter italian ships did escape, At close range, the Greek ship's heavier guns helped polish off the Littorio...
The Averoff can be brutal Cool

NeuralDream

It does have such reputation.

bump, so that I make this Greek card tonight. Then I send Aquarius all templates, including the latest nations, and he takes over.

Def. Armament?
I see 16 x 3inch. That's Def Arm. 4 I think. Isn't it?

SJG Gamer

The ship has 4 x 9.4" Guns + 8 x 7.5" guns as well as 16 x 3" guns.
This ship should have primaries, secondaries, and tertiaries. Cool

Trying to do too much, too fast, yes ND you are correct, I somehow missed the tertiary battery. SJG gamer you are also correct but in DR tertiary batteries are covered by DEFENSIVE ARMAMENT SA.

I'm trying to find a good S.A. or two for this, but I can't.

Survived all major wars and participated in several battles for 40 years or so, but was never damaged significantly, so it can't get Survivor. Against the Turkish pre-dreadnoughts it was completely dominant, but this doesn't show in its stats (mainly because it doesn't qualify for Flank Speed and because gunnery depends mainly on caliber). Also, it was particularly daring during the Balkan Wars, when it crossed the T of the enemy practically on its own, but it's difficult to find such a S.A. either.

Also, I see 2x76mm AA and 4 x 47mm AA. Isn't this AA 3?

Some new one could work out. Feel free to re-name an SA as needed.

Superior Handling: One per game, after both players sea movement steps, this vessel may move one extra space.

or

Spirited Attack: When this unit is positioned in the bow field of fire of an enemy ship, this unit gains +1 die in gunnery attacks against that enemy.

or you could combine them, or give it a 'Pre-dreadnought' killer SA.

I'm all in favor of just making stuff up. As long as the text fits on the card then we can be as creative with SA's as we want.

lotharlutjens

Yes, AA 3 will work, and yes this ship in light of your colorful explanation of it does deserve a "special" SA, we will just have to think on it.

I've started this sickied thread : http://aaminis.myfastforum.org/about4056.html

for corrections on the cards, so that Aquarius will know what to do, without looking through dozens of threads. It's locked, so that only you and the other local mods will list confirmed corrections there.

SPIRITED ATTACK

Note***** Spirited attack is one mentioned above by Swarbs. This SA or one similiar should be attached to the Averoff IMHO.

NeuralDream

I gave Spirited attack the same concept but a bit simpler. I hope it captures what swarbs had in mind.
