"Charge..."
In a chorus of battle cries, the siege of Turin began. As the key node of the southern front, both France and Austria had invested their utmost efforts.
The allegiance of Turin not only decided the fate of the Kingdom of Sardinia but also affected the control over the Italian Area.
The leaders were ready, and all eyes were on the outcome of the Battle of Turin. If the Austrian army successfully captured Turin, everyone would act together to drive out the French. Otherwise, everyone would have to think thrice before proceeding.
To demonstrate their sincerity, those guys had already instigated multiple armed uprisings in the Italian Area, tying down at least two hundred thousand French Army troops.
For easier command and control, General Mörck, the southern front commander, had moved his headquarters to the frontline.
