Battle
editAfter the lost Battle of Lippa and several rumors Italian viceroy Eugene had to change plans and ordered an attack from Ljubljana on the Austrian position near Šmarje–Sap for September 13. However, the outnumbered Austrians were in a strong position and managed to hold all Italian attacks, finally repulsing them.[1][2]
