I recently read in the opening days of the WWI it was seriously suggested (by both the Germans and from within A-H), that elements of the A-H fleet should sail for Constantinople. As I understand it, the A-H fleet was not immediately ready for the journey and there was some concern regarding the whereabouts of the French fleet in the Med. Abandoning the Adriatic did not appear to be a deal breaker.
So, what if say 3 A-H dreadnaughts and 3 armoured crusiers joined the Goeben in Constantinople? How would CP control of the Black Sea impact on the 1914 politics of Bulgaria and Romania? How would it impact on the war in the Caucasus and would it influence the planning for Gallipoli. Would those ships be missed in the Adriatic? Feel free to tweak scenario.
