Possible CLs -
Arethusa-class 5,220 tons 32 knots 3x twin 6"
Leander-class 9,740 tons 32 knots 4x twin 6"
Fiji-class (subclass of Crown Colony) 10,725 tons 32 knots 4x triple 6"
Ceylon-class (subclass of Crown Colony) 10,840 tons 32 knots 3x triple 6"
Southampton-class (subclass of Town) 11,540 tons 32 knots 4x triple 6"
Gloucester-class (subclass of Town) 11,930 tons 32 knots 4x triple 6"
The Edinburgh is the 3rd subclass of the Town-class, heavier and larger than the Southampton or Gloucester. I'd probably eliminate the Arethusa and Leander as possible CL2s because the Sirius would eclipse them. The Fiji might be a good choice, it can match the 6" triples of the Edinburgh, but with lower displacement. I can't see the Ceylon being popular with 1 less barrel than the Sirius.
It's too bad I can't link to the thread on the old forum where I posted a new tree... At least the tree is still there: http://www.geocities.com/shrikedsc/NF_RN_tree.png
It really needed work still. The red numbers are the proposed level, with such levels though you get into a lot of complications about armament (ie: Arethusa at level 25 while her historic 6" twins are level 37)
