Hi Guys,for anyone who is interested in adding the Italians to any of there scenarios,then I have just completed the 3 Italian dreadnought class ship art,enjoy Tex might add them to a download if you ask him nicely [:)]

Italian Dreadnoughts.

Dante Alighieri class = 1 ship Dante Alighieri.
Conte di Cavour class = 3 ships Conte di Cavour,Guilio Cesare & Leonardo da Vinci.
Andrea Doria class = 2 ships, Andrea Doria & Caio Duilio.

The attached file is of the Dreadnought Dante Alighieri class.



I will be adding there Pre-dreadnoughts,Armoured cruiser's etc after I have completed my High Seas Fleet ships.[:D]

Italian pre-dreadnoughts are so cool! I am looking forward to those. Yes, I will be happy to include them in the next download. It will be quite a mixed bag, what with the High Seas Fleet, USS Helena, and now Italians. Graham, you are now a WPO legend!

Update on the Italian progress,I'm doing the art for the Pre-Dreadnought St.Bon class,plus I have started to work on the Armoured cruiser Giuseppe Garibaldi class,should both be available very soon.[;)]

Here is my version off the Italian Dreadnought Dante Alighieri class.

Just finnished this today my version off the Italian Pre-Dreadnought St.Bon class

Yo I'm going to tweak the Italian ships colour by putting a darker edge to the hull outline because I feel in the combat screen,they are not standing out enough ?

Here is the Italian Pre-Dreadnought Regina Elena class.

Hi Graham,

Thanks for all of the work on these ships, they look great! Any plans for Austria-Hungary? Italy needs someone to fight!

Hi Hueglin I will try to create, what ever ship art,that the War Plan Orange players would like to see display in game, If I can get a good photo or drawing of a ship then I can do it,thanks for feedback very much appreciated.

New possible feature I'm also thinking about is shown below,where by the ship now looks as though it is traveling at 20 knots etc, and is creating a large bow wave effect,plus at the stern there is the tell tale sign off a large wake being left after the ship,I have tried this out in the combat screen view,and it looks like the ships are moving fast through the water.[;)]

The new art for the Armoured cruiser Giuseppe Garibaldi class with Italian flag.

Hi Graham, the Garibaldi is fantastic! As for the special effects, in my opinion, keep the flags and lose the wakes.

Okydoky will keep the flags & lose the wakes,that was the way I was leaning anyway,will confirm all nations naval flags before attaching to ship art ![;)]

Italian Armoured cruiser Giuseppe Garibaldi class with Navy ensign,so this is one of your favourite ships is it,I think out of the ten ships in the class Italy used 3 & Japan got 2,I think Spain got 1 and Argintina got 4 could be wrong maybe yes maybe no.[:D]

Hi Graham,

There are some side profiles of Autro-Hungarian ships within the links on this page.

Hi Hueglin,Here is the Austria-Hungary Pre-Dreadnought Erzherzog Karl class[;)]

Hi folks, Italian Armoured cruiser Giuseppe Garibaldi class with Navy ensign flying from her mast,she looks tremendous in the combat screen in game,I have experimented and a slight reduction to the size of the flag,looks great attached to all the ships mast.Instead of floating in the corner off the art work.[;)]

Here in shil form as well Italian Armoured cruiser Giuseppe Garibaldi class with Navy ensign flying from her mast.[8D]
