Okay, my latest Kaiserreich game(still ongoing) as Two Sicilles has been truly epic.
The SRI invaded in mid 1938, but the Abruzzo Line held well and for about a year or so there were no problems. Then the Third Internationale formally intervened, and overwhelmed my army. My troops were driven down the length of Italy, losing Naples and Taranto, and eventually had to make last stand in the mountains at the very tip of Calabria. They held out against multiple offensives by a force twice their size(I had about 15 divisions in Italy proper and another four holding the Sicilian ports; they had at least thirty SRI, British and French divisions attacking) until Austria and the Italian Republic came to my aid(Austria and Bulgaria had helped even before the Second Weltkrieg started and I was able to ally with Germany). They weren’t able to break the Po River Line, but the troops the Third Internationale had to send north ended the pressure on me, especially when a syndicalist invasion of Sicily wound up failing miserably. I was able to reorganize my troops and launch an offensive which retook Taranto. From there Reichspakt help(Germans, Moroccans, Danes and more) finally came pouring in— although to be fair Morocco has been the only Reichspakt nation to have had troops fighting with mine when the Great Retreat began. I‘ve managed to retake Naples, my capital, and now the fight to drive the syndicalist invaders northwards begins once more!
