War Against Everybody
I jacked up my troop maintenance and move 3000 of my troops to Ragusa. Two thousand more are sent to Tripolitania, including my leader. I order another 1000 in Ferrara.
No, nevermind. I intend to win this war one front at a time. I send all 5000 troops to Ragusa. Let’s win this against Bosnia, and then win it against North Africa. I will leave Tripolitania defenseless for the moment.
18 April, 1511 – Hungary declares war against Croatia. I’m at war with everyone else, might as well support Croatia as well, plus my army in Ragusa can do double duty. Hungary’s two allies, Bohemai anad Denmark join.

31 January, 1512 – We force the Hungarians out of Dalmatia and have broken their siege!

10 February, 1512 – My troops arrive in Ferrara to fight the Bohemians.
22 February, 1512 – Algiers sends us a peace offer and we pay them 4 ducats to be at peace with their entire alliance including Tunis. I agree. Two wars down.

26 July, 1512 – We defeated Hungary in the Adriatic Sea.
3 September, 1512 – We force the Hungarians out of Dalmatia again
There have been a large number of skirmishes in Northern Italy with my troops and opposing forces.
It’s becoming obvious that I am going to lose this war with Hungary. I cannot stab them in the back because they are landlocked. They keep my main force pinned down and are harassing my Northern Italian provinces and forces at will. I need to find an exit strategy.
4 October, 1512 – I lost a ship running the Hungarian boat gauntlet in the Adriatic but brought my beleaguered Italian forces to Dalmatia. All of my forces are here.
4000 opposing troops are besieging Parma. I need to similarly hit my opponent in the mouth in order to get neutral in this war.
