I would suggest changing Greek single ship traffic in the med to Italian or German...and leave any Greek ships in med convoys as Greek and thus legitimate targets.

I agree on this as well also to the previous poster that said that obviously U-boots didn't search for allied targets inside the Aegean where most of the traffic ,if not all,was controlled by the axis.
The greek free merchants did partecipate in med convoys and thus were obviously targeted by the Germans.
So the solution proposed appears adeguate.And excuse the passionate replies ,but this is the first time i have seen a classification of greek navy among the axis,and having some relation to it and the army,i thought i couldn't let pass such a thing without comment even if it's just a games forum.Some things are difficult to find in the internet to prove,but all Greeks with some years on their back(sigh) and some history knowledge know that many Greek sailors died in those ships,so if not else,it was my duty to defend their memory.Unfortunately, some children today learn history from PC games,so i decided to post...So,now i think i will let you enjoy the game as you wish.

Thank you my friend for the link.It is actually common sense.Greece didn't collapse in a day.Many ships were sunk in air bombings of Piraeus while still docked.When it was obvious that the Germans couldn't be held (at Thermopylae there was the last line of defence),already the warships started leaving for Egypt.Logically many greek ship owners did the same for their ships and radioed those at sea away from Greece not to return to Greece.That's how the Greek ships ended up in allied convoys.After all,even if we bypass national pride,a ship owner had interest in "saving" his ship by sending it to a US/Canadian/British harbour than waiting for the Germans to confiscate it and lose its property and thus his money forever.For the same reason i immagine you see Norway and Netherlands in the same link with ships sunk by Uboats.
