The Citadel System
A generation of engineers trained on the latest Italian treatises on fortification has surveyed every significant town in our domain and begun the work of converting the old circuit walls into a network of modern bastions — angled, low, and wide enough to mount artillery while denying the enemy any approach that our own guns cannot cover. We tie these citadels together by road and signal, so that a garrison threatened in one valley can expect support from the next. This Sistema delle Cittadelle transforms Piedmont into a country that cannot be overrun but must be taken fortress by fortress, a prospect that gives even the most determined aggressor pause before crossing our borders.
