With a new Italy, things are back to the way they were.
Well, not for everyone. Or actually, mostly for none.
Only Germany managed to get its unit back to where it was a year ago. And it is still around.
Together with France they are the only ones that see all of their orders succeed.
Austria is a close second as it failed to take Rome. Which stopped the Italians from taking Apulia.
Talking about the Italians: they and Russia are fighting over prime locations in Turkey and the Black Sea. Italy played it clever and successfully defended 3 locations with its 2 units.
I bet the Mad Monk at the Russian Court will be mad with anger after hearing this.
But worst hit is England. Two orders succeed but at a terrible price: London has to retreat from Belgium and Liverpool. Through the support from the Russians, the French were able to undermine all English attacks that would have prevented their demise otherwise. Is this the price England pays for invading St Petersburg earlier? And we all remember wha happened to Germany after it had to leave St Petersburg, don't we?
Good luck to you all.
