Another forts question

[sebas379]

The League War just started and the Ottomans and Hungary fight on opposite sides. Looking at the wall of forts Hungary has on its southern border, am I missing something or did that Ottoman army walz right over them? They weren't at war before so the Ottoman troops were in their homeland before the war began.

I believe they just marched through Slavonia, as there is no ZoC here.

They must have followed the following route : Slavonia, Somogy, Fejer. None of these Are within a Zone of Control

Ah of course, I missed the Slavonia gap. Thanks

But what about that fort to the right of Bosnia, doens't it project a ZoC on Bosnia?

No, because Bosnia is an Ottoman territory. ZoC applies for provinces of the same owner, so only Hungarian-owned provinces in this case

No, forts donc project ZoC on enemy contry, only on own country (and IIRC on allied country). But here Bosnia is part of the Ottoman empire, so no Hungarian fort can put a ZoC on it.

I'm not sure what happens if Hungary occupies Bosnia. Will then Hungarian fort east of it have a Zoc on the province ? What is sure is that the Ottoman part south of Bosnia has a ZoC on it.
