Comment on H... how many Battles of the Isonzo River are you going to have, Italy...?

Twelve. Twelve Battles of the Isonzo. In less than two-and-a-half years. None of which were particularly successful.

WW1 generals are often maligned as incompetent, when they were dealing with legitimately limited resources with which to coordinate massive offensives. But Luigi Cadorna deserves his reputation for ham-handed butchery.
