Italy versus Austrian Hungarian Empire

AH can attack Venice from two different sectors, also they have about 2:1 ratio in troopers, guns, and, economy. Her fleet is the same size as Italian fleet, but, AH can reinforce it, much less the army, at the same time. Italy could build up her fleet a bit, but, will need all her and resources to get AH out of Venice.

Round One: AH purchases, two subs. & transport & fighter. Moves her fleet to battle Italian fleet, both fleets of BB & C destroyed, and, has a transport that lands in Albania two troopers. AH troops & guns go into Venice from Tyrolia & Trieste sectors, attack & destroy five troopers & two guns(for a lost of six troopers).

Italy buys a sub. & two troopers, attacks AH forces in Venice with forces from Tuscany & Piedmont(Roman forces move into Tuscany). Also her transport brings a trooper & gun from N.Africa to Venice. Losses are six troopers against AH losses of four troopers and a gun.

Still Venice is contested, with Italy’s two troopers & three guns, holding out against AH one trooper & four guns. Italy’s last major field army(two guns & six troopers) is in between Rome & Venice, should it send some troops to help Rome(with three troopers) against an possible sea invasion(the Italian sub. may not hold back two AH subs. with two transports). Also a second wave of an fighter & four guns & sixteen troops are ready to enter Venice from AH next turn. Along with her IPC is now reduced to ten, with Libya, Sicily, Sardinia, and, Naples open to sea invasion.

Final IPC losses AH 55 & Italy 82.

Italy chooses a political victory for AH, better too lose Venice, than to lose everything else.

Next Italy faces off an old foe, dating back to Middle Ages, Italy versus the Ottoman Empire.

@VictoryFirst said in 2025 Classic tournament round 1 Gamerman01 v VictoryFirst (Axis):

in the end it worked out beautifully.

I had lucky results in China J1, and again against the Japanese battleships and loaded carrier off French Indo China

The Japanese fleet was more important than normal because only one factory was built

Very gracious, thank you!

@Martin Yes the “miss” on my part was using Japan’s bomber offensively when it could have at least NCM’d from Manchuria -> Germany to give one more HP to the units there. That might have made some level of difference in the final fight but in hindsight, once the UK air got as many kills as it did it was unlikely that Germany was going to survive.

Good luck to you as well!

@VictoryFirst Thank you, done!
