![]() ![]() ![]() Going war with italy even gives you more NM for AH, and chance to get more NM from conquest, since many italian border cities are also morale boost for AH, but losing will have the reverse effect, so you need to defend you new front, and it will eat 4-6 units on normal versus the AI, and even more if you play on harder difficulties. But you pay high price for it: large amount of NM, heavy temporary morale drop for your AH army, some income loss, and the Romanian entry boost, as well as an even larger temporary income loss, so the AH will be crippled for 6 month or so, and probably very vulnerable to russian overrun. There are several reason why to choose this or that option, and that what makes this event the best in the entire game, this has the largest consequences and the most influence on the entire game out of all your choice (almost as much as france first or russia first or serbia first.)įolding saves you the front, and the 200 mpp economy and 30 something units of the italian army, and most importantly the larger than the AH fleet of the italian navy. I usually keep the big surface units of the A-H navy in port to frustrate them. They like to prowl the Adriatic looking for lone warships at sea to gang up on. You also have to keep an eye on the Italian navy if you go with the war option. I did lose the Austrian city of Trento since it's so close to the border. Properly entrenched in alpine terrain, they held the line until better units could be built. I wasn't terribly prepared, so I scrounged up some German detachments from the Eastern front that weren't doing anything too important at the time and operated them there along with the German marine unit (my only other reserve unit) I also had to scramble to find an HQ unit to support them. I seriously considered giving those Austrian cities up, but Austria-Hungary's morale level wasn't looking to good at the time, so I went with the war with Italy option. How do I keep my morale up, if I give up those 2 cities? If I don't give up these 2 cities, how do I cover such a wide front for Austria Hungary? But both times I watched my morale fall to almost nothing, even though I defeated Serbia. ![]() This is my 2nd game as the central powers, and both times I elected giving up those 2 cities to keep the Italian front clean. Could someone give me the pros and cons on the decision to keep Italy out of the war. ![]()
