How would Austria win the Austro-Prussian War? To a degree to me this war was decided by items before the war even started.
- Prussia has better equipment. The Austrian muzzle loaded rifle was not as quick or easy to use as the Prussian rifle.
- Prussia had a much more developed rail system that allowed the quick transport of troops and goods.
- Prussian soldiers were continuously training for war, while Austrian forces were more conscription based.
What could Austria have done to win this war? Could they have won it from the start of the conflict, or would it require a PoD much earlier. Could Sweden or some of the other neutral states tripped the conflict in Austria's favor.
