A U S T R I A

Austria is at the center of the action, has excel-

lent access to resources, and a lot of neighbors.

Preventing your neighbors from ganging up on

your is the first priority for Austria.

Take Serbia, and make sure that Russia and Italy

do not decide to invade you. Suggest to them

the advantages of an early attack on Turkey.

With Turkey, encourage him to build fleets and

fight Italy, or get into an early war with Russia

around the Black Sea.

More than any other power, you will succeed or

fail based on your powers of persuasion. Do not

be afraid to make deals that favor other powers

slightly more than yourself, as you need good

friends to survive.
