Military Operations:

  • FRANCE: Marseille --> Mer de Toulon, Provence supports. Schweitz holds, Lyon supports. Avignon --> Savoia, FAILS.
  • GENOVA: Ventimiglia --> Monferrato, Nizza supports. Savoia supports Aosta in favour of Milan. The support is cut off which however doesn't matter, since no milanese troops come around. Genova (F) --> Mar Ligure, Bastia supports. Genova (G) converts into a fleet.
  • MILANO: Pavia --> Como, Torino supports. Cremona --> Mantova, Verona supports. Milano holds.
  • AUSTRIA: Bolzano holds, Tirol supports. Steiermark --> Kärnten. Slavonia --> Fiume, FAILS, although Trieste and Ungarn give support.

  • FIRENZE: Lucca --> Pistoia, FAILS, although Pisa (A) supports. Pisa (G) supports Pisa (A); this is illegal, since a supporting unit may not be supported, so Pisa (G) holds instead.
  • STATO DELLA CHIESA: Siena gives support to Pisa in favour of Firenze, which is meaningless, thus Siena holds. Arezzo besieges, Urbino supports. Aquila holds, Ancona supports. Roma --> Tivoli. Perugia --> Spoleto.
  • NAPOLI: Salerno --> Aquila, FAILS, although Napoli supports. Bari --> Adriatico Inferiore, FAILS. Albania tries to support into Adr. Inf. but FAILS. Otranto --> Bari, FAILS.
  • SISILIA: Tunis --> Mediterraneo Occidentale, Cagliari supports. Palermo --> Tirreno Occidentale, Ajaccio supports. Siracusa --> Golfo di Tunisia. Malta --> Mar Ionio, Messina supports.
  • TÜRKIYE: Spalato --> Zara, FAILS; the army has to retreat and it converts into a garrison. Adriatico Inferiore --> Spalato, FAILS. Durazzo (F) --> Albania, FAILS but cuts off the support given by the neapelitan fleet in Albania. Durazzo (G) tries to convert into a fleet, FAILS.


Aftermath

The independent fleet at the sea of Toulon is destroyed, since it cannot retreat.

The independent army in Monferrato retreats by convering into a garrison.

The turkish army in Spalato has to retreat; hence it doesn't cut off the support, which was given by the dalmatian army in Zara.
