In Nov. 1912 the German Mediterranean Division consisted of one battlecruiser (SMS Goeben) and one light cruiser (SMS Breslau).

Let's give this force a greater punch, starting in late 1913. The mission in ATL is to help the Austro-Hungarian k.u.k. Kriegsmarine match the French fleet in the Mediterranean (war with Italy is not planned for). However we still need sufficient heavy units at home to keep the RN's Grand Fleet at Scapa.

The k.u.k. surface fleet has four dreadnoughts and about ten pre-dreadnoughts, plus cruisers and torpedo boats. I suggest that the four Nassau-class dreadnoughts be sent, as they're the least capable of Germany's dreadnought ships, while still capable of giving a good fight to the French. What else do we send?
