RECORD ENLISTMENTS REPORTED IN ITALIAN ARMED FORCES!  NATION 
MOBILIZES FOR TOTAL WAR! (Naples - Spring 1905)  At the recruiting 
stations set up at the christening ceremonies of the destroyer 
"Kaiser Richard", Armed Forces recruitment efforts dramatically 
exceeded 1905's projections.  Italians outraged by the base betrayals 
of the ArchDuke are ready to take up arms in defense of their nation. 
After changes in the Italian command structure that led to the 
stunning reversal of early Austrian successes, Italy stands ready to 
mount a withering offensive against the Austrian homeland and the 
eventual liberation of her recent territorial acquisitions in the 
Balkans. "The Double Eagle shall fall!" shouted the cheering crew of 
the "Kaiser Richard" as she steamed into the Ionian Sea.

GM Notes:

We continue to experience delay, and I have some potentially bad news 
(in game terms): I may be switching jobs very shortly.  (The hunt for 
the new job is why I was so busy earlier in the week.)  My potential 
new boss is a real go-getter, so my time may become severely limited. 
I will try to keep that from affecting the flow of the game, but if I 
can't keep up, I will search for a replacement GM.  In the meantime, 
continue to follow the posted schedule and I will see if 1) I get the 
job, and 2) if I can continue to adjudicate in a timely manner in 
spite of it.
