Late May 1867

Gablenz is furious, and so will the Emperor be once he recieves the news from Italy - the Italian army has been forced to give battle 2 times around Genova, but managed to retreat to Torino and, under whithering fire from Gablenz' own army, seek shelter within the city's fortifications! What looked ...

PoN uses a much simpler distinction of Gds-Line-Militia, so I'm less sure how to use those building blocks, except at the force pool level? When I was sorting out the countries I forced Austria to release at the end of my PoN AAR, I found the building blocks for Czech, Croat etc formations, but I'm...

I might have, if it fired under 60% already (it did that in Saxony), but since I played the card and Hesse-Kassel went over 60% there was nothing. I'll just wait a couple more turns tonight (have waited 2 already last night).

The problem was also Austrian leadership, both in the field and in planning.

Indeed, confirmed. We must do some research on this matter cause Austria in early PON seems quite the juggernaut. Especially in AI vs AI wars.
