June 1793 CE
The French attack the Piedmontese army in Saorgio in June 1793 and are defeated.
The Allies try to mount a counteroffensive, but this effort is crippled by the slowness of the new commander, Austrian general Joseph De Vins, who plans to recapture both Savoy and Nice.
Because he suffers badly from gout, De Vins intends to supervise both operations from the capital of Turin.
The Duke of Montferrat, named to lead the invasion of Savoy, has been directed to follow strict daily instructions from De Vins.
Since Turin is forty-five miles (seventy-two kilometers) away, the arrangement is impractical.
