I think to a degree this is true, but it's also been explicitly stated (at least from the German doctrine point of view) that lessons were learned from the much more bloody altBoxer War and the abortive Norwegian Independence War where dogged defenders had a great advantage over attackers with...

It would be amusing along these lines to see Horthy actually engaged in a decisive showdown in the Adriatic

dayum Australian Labor just did a masterpiece play. It's fun to see that despite how so much of the world is so much more conservative, Australia is down there just doing its own thing.

I'd be personally fine with it and if you want to experiment, go nuts

...see I had zero idea about any of this and this is absolutely a consequence of No WWI (or at least no war that the UK gets involved in) and it's yet another reason I love this timeline.

Seconded.
