Every rejection of the surely sensible Italian peace offers will make the terms hurt more and more. I'm afraid that once you're done with Austria, they won't be a major threat to you any more.
I guess by now you know the answer, but I personally thought the Austrians would be pretty reluctant to give up access to the sea in this situation. For that reason I pressed for greater gains in the Tyrol.Middelkerke said:Great AAR. Keep it up. Will you take the adriatic coast?
He’s doing the best he can. Of course he does have 1/3 the army that Rafaldini has.robou said:Nice work by Rafaldini, but Salerno should have tried harder! Lets hope the Austrians begin to get their peace deals working.
Thanks for your praise. In general I find any nation can be beat this early in the game (even the UK) if you just know the right approach to take.rhynoclemmis said:Hi, good to see you continue the AAR. Just keep the Austrians occupied... he he he. Holding Vienna for a few weeks will make them giv you what you want very soon. Austria generally is a pushover, but with a so young Italy... impressive!
That’s probably true, but I doubt you would here Rafaldini admit it.Terraferma said:In Salerno's defense, Rafaldini has much more troops assign to him. a 3:1 ratio. Im sure the "great" Rafaldini would of had the same difficulty being evenly matched with the Austrians stats aside.
Thanks, that’s high praise indeed. I hope you enjoy Revolutions. Paradox did an awesome job with that one.safferli said:Go go Rafaldini! Good to see you do more updates, Qurinius -- no use in denying it any longer, I am a Quirinius groupie! Been a fan of yours since your Belgian AAR (read the Sweden AAR after that one...) and every time I read your aars I feel the need to play Vicky again. In fact, I recently ordered Revolutions, so that's even more Vicky goodness for me! Rafaldini asked for all of the Italian holdings of the Habsburgs, I presume?
Let us hope you’re correct. Of course whether Austria is a threat or not will not change the bitterness the Italians feel towards them. There may yet be more wars…rhynoclemmis said:Every rejection of the surely sensible Italian peace offers will make the terms hurt more and more.

Yes, I truly enjoyed giving it to the Austrians. Just don’t let rhynoclemmis know…robou said:nice going, the Austrians really took a shellacking there.
Thanks, now I’m trying to get caught up on yours,DerKaiser said:Good to see an update on its way! Looking forward to it...
It was from my WW1 AAR (see link in my sig). Somewhere in the middle I fought and lost a series of battles at Bergamo. It really was quite frustrating to say the least.The Great Duck said:Looks good.And what was that AAR people were talkng about?
