Headlines:

WAR INDUSTRIES GEAR UP FOR BUSY WINTER
As the warring nations of Europe fall further into the depths of madness, heavy industry across the continent is preparing for a major increase in output. All seven countries are expected to build new ships and tanks and raise new troops this winter, in expectation of more battles in the coming year. How the borders may be redrawn, or how long this terrible war will last, has yet to be seen. The future looks dark, indeed.

BATTLE IN THE LOWLANDS
German and French forces collided in Belgium this week, causing panic among the populace. As French troops attempted to take the city, German army and naval forces worked in perfect unison to force their opponents back to wine territory. While not a major setback for the fast-growing French, this is certainly a boon to the German military, which expects to double its numbers before spring.

AUSTRIANS RECEIVE MIXED MESSAGES FROM NEIGHBOR
After the failed Italian invasion of Trieste in the spring, the last thing Viennese forces expected to encounter this week was an Italian escort into the previously contested territory. That is exactly what happened, though, as troops from Venice helped to guarantee the safe passage of Austrian troops into what was expected by many to remain a war zone.
