T27: Overview of the Allied advance north and south with allied Armee strength:
T27:
The southern front:
The Austrians have now formed the II Corps for a comprehensive assault on the French II Corps. The only question is should I pound him with arty for a few turns to soften him up. The upside is the French II corps will be further weakened by a 30+ arty pounding at a 2-3 hex range. The down side is the French Guard corps comes closer with every turn. I plan to destroy the French II Corps as a fighting unit before the Guard makes its appearance. Here is where the French II Corps should simply back up. The Russian INF is not in line as of yet, they are 10 to 15 turns out (he might be able to guess this). But, why not back up to the Guard and give ye old "back hand blow"...yes, that is the fear of the Austrians....
