THE RED GAMBIT SERIES

Some of the ships that can be put into use by the Republican Kreigsmarine may include the Admiral Hipper, the Prinze Eugen, maybe the Emden, possibly the Koln, if it can be raised, and the Leipzig and the Nurnberg. Can we possibly see any of those ships in action in the future?

Actually, i would say unlikely. The Baltic isnt necessarily a 'large ship' sea, in the purest sense. However, it may well be that I might. My first thought was to make soem mraine divisions, or use naval personnel to bolster existing ground forces. However, I had another idea later, and that will come to fruition in the fullness of time. I did contemplate raising the Gneisenau, just for the crack lol

i simply thought that they may be useful in shelling Soviet positions and troop movements, like for example in the North German coastal region. Or the Danish islands of Mon and Falster. If I were they Allies, I would take the opportunity given by the success of Spectrum Red to move as many ships into the Baltic as possible, maybe stationing them in Danish ports.

Or maybe there is a good reason for not doing so at this time :-)

So, what ships does the Republican Kreigsmarine have?

Admiral Hipper [not fully operational], Prinz Eugen, Koln [eventually], Leipzig, Nurnberg, Richard Beitzen, Paul Jakobi, Theodor Riedel, Hans Lody, Friedrich Ihn, Erich Steinbrinck, Karl Galster, Z25, Z30, Z31, Z33, Z34, Z37, Z38, Z39, plus 3 T boats and a number of U-Boats :-)

Since the Prinz Eugen was taken as war reparations by the U.S. and moved to the Pacific, I think it would be interesting to use it in that theatre- possibly in Campbelltown-esque raid on Vladivostok?

Understood. However, returning it to the Kriegsmarine would make more sense, as they would be familiar with the vessel in its entireity :-)
