The Italians also had 200 artillery pieces - though many were old or obsolete - which put down an intense but short barrage leading up to the attack.
There were around 225,000 Italian Army soldiers massed to assault the positions of 115,000 Austro-Hungarian troops, who were dug-in on high ground along the Isonzo river (also known as the Soča river). Italy had declared war on Austria-Hungary on May 23, about a month before the battle began on June 23. Of course you also have to bear in mind that if you take the capture points first, the defenders will naturally concentrate around the demolition objectives - maybe it’s smarter to try for the demolitions earlier? We’re curious what strategies players will come up with!ġ06 years ago today, the First Battle of the Isonzo was raging. The often more difficult but permanently destroyed demolition objectives, or the more exposed capture points which offer a new spawning location, but are vulnerable to counterattack. This leads to some interesting strategic decisions for the attackers about which objective to attack first. Objective capture points can however be re-captured by defenders, unlike demolition objectives, and can be spawned on by the attackers if captured. This will follow similar rules to what we have done in Tannenberg, where the more people are in a capzone, the faster the capture will go. A forward post, established by the attackers.Īnother objective type is capture points, which will have to be conquered by the attackers using sheer weight of numbers and a firm presence.
