Our attentions turn to the dire state of our cruiser forces. Not only do we add a new light cruiser class, and refit all of the old armoured cruisers, we also have no less than four brand new ships to add to the fleet.

Love construction and refit episodes. By the way, if you are going with semi-historical builds, it is a good moment to implement some 4/5/6 inch secondaries. Starting with heavy cruisers…please. One, two barrel turrets would do perfectly, they look nice and very Italian ;-).
Big fan of all these cruisers, especially as they are all actually different from each other, so fit the artisan spirit
Catina got only 7.8" on the barbettes instead of 8", because you did the armor before adjusting the gun lenght.
Your Florentia class CA looks like you took the Trento class CA treaty cruiser and improved upon her design. All the while staying within the treaty limitations. If you weren't including the heavy cruisers in your artisan limitations, you would have a very efficient, reliable, and effective heavy cruiser in your navy. Well done.
On that note, have you thought of doing a campaign based on the naval treaties throughout the 1920's? Basically, you build your fleet as you want, but as when 1920 hits; you then must adhere to the limitations of the Washington Naval treaty. Then, in 1924, and again in 1928, follow in step with the London Naval treaties. I think Austro-Hungaria would be a preferred choice, but I would like to see you utilize the French as well.
The Italian heavy cruiser line hulls are 🤌
Your CA/pocket battleship has such a good design that I might draw it! And I also love the Campaign your doing =) Keep up the good work my friend!
u can never have enuf guns
I'd have probably taken that spare displacement and stuck a turtle back citadel in for the additional resistance and armor quality.
Unless there's other reasons not to go for it.
(also I actually kinda like the look of the lozenge turrets, don't hurt me! Lol)
I have a preference for building episodes myself.
loved this building episode
This is such a solid series, what’s your favorite ship so far?
That Verona is beautiful, that hull has so much potential! Shame you've gotta do the artisan…it's a perfect "let's see what we can do with this" hull!
Italy must be good for CA artisan campaigns, you get almost enough hulls to build a proper-sized CA fleet even if you only build one ship per hull lmao
This episode almost feels like "Variations on a (Naval) theme of Paganini", by Johannes BrotherMunroes! Love how fast all of these are, while also being quite luxurious for their crews, and also quite deadly to their enemies to boot.
I don't understand the smaller 8 inch guns. Didn't historical accuracy go out the window with the one ship per higher class limit? Also, considering the trouble those bricks caused… Still love you, BM. 🙂
The Florentia and Verona are beautiful. Really enjoying the artisan campaign.
I come for the ship builds, I will admit I was kinda bummed they were sped up
Go checky on the gun calibers at 4.9 lol
The refit time lapse is a nice touch, ADHD approved lol
