The switcherino or the whoopsiedoodle is a ploy just thought up by my crazy mind, if it already has a name and what not that fine Idc just post it.

But this is a VERY risky gambit but can make italy and autria the 2 strongest powers in the game and it has very little risk.

The first and foremost move in this gambit, is the switching of powers in Venice and Triest. Austria's opening moves should be Tri- ADR Vie-Tyro buda-tri and Italy should set up for a normal Naples - Tunis Convoy.

This will make it seem as if Austira is about to try and obliterate Italy... Quite the contrary. During this time, Austria should have talked to france, germany, and turkey about possible alliances (fake of course) and Italy should have talked to Russia and turkey about alliances (fake of course)

Austria's main concern is to not be flanked. so by making sure you get everyone facing off vrs each other is key. Italy needs to help with this by saying he has ties withother countries tha can help him take austria and to not flank them.


The next move is the game winner. Austria moves Tyro-Mun ADR-Venice Tr-i-Serb

and Italy Ven-Tri- Naple-Apulia and Ion-tunis

Giving austria 2 builds, and Italy one, and what seems like a enemy. But really a super close alliance with about 0 stabbing possibilities. Italy could talk to turkey, but austria should have his fake alliance there, Italy could talk to russia, but agian austria you need to communicate. France is also with asutria as he attacked germany and italy (perfect french ally) so stabbing really is a no no. After that, its up to you but a 2 build start for austria and a solid alliance. What more do you need?

I would suggest even a blue water lepanto from Trieste and then switch back to original home SC's after that.
