 From the Presses:

VENICE LIBERATED!  (Venice - Fall, 1904)  Jubilant throngs of 
patriotic Italians lined the canals and streets of Venice as the 
triumphant Italian army routed the last dregs of the hated Austrian 
occupying forces. "Death to the treacherous ArchDuke!" they shouted 
as wine flowed freely.

The first Italian Marine Expeditionary Unit, emboldened by recent 
training manoeuvres in amphibious assault techniques, staged a daring 
& devastating attack on Austrian positions just before dawn, 
supported by an artillery barrage from the 1st Roman Infantry.

Local fisherman reported an exchange of gunfire between Italian and 
Austrian destroyers in the Adriatic Sea, reportedly ending in a 
standoff, preventing the threat of counter-fire against the invading 
marines.

In other news, in gratitude to our courageous German allies, the 
Italian Naval Department has commissioned a new destroyer in its 
Naples shipyards, to be christened the "Kaiser Richard".
