By reading Alt_naval news he seems to be in kinda a cold war with both Turkey and the AANM.
I think I saw a quote in an archive-dive: "Greece is paranoid and suspicious of everybody."
Bulgaria and Turkey have both repeatedly tried to make nice with the Greeks, offering them nonaggression treaties, trade deals, offers to drop all irredentist claims, etc. Greece pretty much told us "Talk to the hand, foos!"

I can see them increasing the size of their army as a response to the Turkish Army to something at least similar in size to their neighbors to the east. In tanks my opinion will be that they probably purchase British equipment after the Anglo-Greek agreement.
Probably will be smaller than the Turkish Army, and larger than the Bulgarian Army: OTL Greece fielded sixteen infantry divisions and two cavalry divisions during the Greco-Italian War. The Greek occupation of Macedonia and Anatolia would probably boost their overall population, but it's probably not going to exceed ten or twelve million people. (I think OTL Greece had seven million citizens.)

As for small arms and MGs I'll let Brock decide as he seems the expert in this area.

I'll have an Greek AF OOB and equipment (and naval air) by the weekend.
Don't want all British types, I could see some German types Do-17s etc, maybe Bf-109. I'll try and keep things roughly OTL but with some limited expansion.
As for British equipment for the Army;
Light Tank Mk II, III, IV and V; the main British light tank and exported, would be useful in hilly terrain, MG armed but good for recon. Perhaps better than armoured cars. Maybe German could throw in some newer Panzer II models to upgrade the lighter forces?
Cruiser Tank Mk I and I CS (A9) and Cruiser Tank Mk II and II CS (A10); as the main British tank of the mid 1930s these would give a decent fast tank with a good AT gun. Not world beaters but good.
Maybe a batch of new Cruiser Tank Mk V Crusader (A15) for 1939?
Bren gun carriers easy to buy, armoured cars from a variety of sources perhaps? Some older Morris types, maybe Great War models from France, could have some newer Damiler 'Dingo' types for scouting.
For artillery I'd see a mainly French Great War set-up with 75mm and 155mm, Skoda guns from Czechoslovakia (esp moutain guns), with some newer 25pdr guns from the UK. 3.7in AA or German 88mm and the usual 40mm Bofors or German 37mm light flak should be ok for Greece. Anti-tank guns could be the 2pdr from the UK to match the tanks. Would be pretty effective for now, 6pdrs to follow from mid 1939. As for small arms and MGs I'll let Brock decide as he seems the expert in this area.

Dutch and Belgians are part of the AANM so that reduce the choices IMO to Russia, France, and surprise, the United States.

Atlantis perhaps as well.

A number of the early Greek warships were US built - the early battleships and the CAs in particular, I believe.

Well relations between Greece and Atlantis pre Alt_Naval were good. Roger upon taking things over decided that he'd cool things abit, so I wouldn't complain if Greece came knocking at Atlantean weapons suppliers doors.
