Battle of Selce

Austrian Plan
Svetozar realize he needed to get a victory against the Italian army to get the Austrian high command to realize Istria as a major front, he positioned 4,500 men on the lower village of Selce to allow the Italians to capture the city easily, but then positioned the rest of his troops along the cities outskirts to swoop in and crush the Italian supply lines and communications.

Italian Plan
The Italians planned for the quick capture of Selce, knowing they vastly outnumbered Austrian forces inside of the city, however the Italians underestimated Svetozar, and called his victory at Kamno a victory by chance. This led to the Italians securing their flanks being low priority and the capture of Selce a higher one.
