Press
Florentine Flamer: A murky green and brown tide has swept local beaches in recent days. Locals have been advised to stay out of the water, as the lingering afterburn of the off-colured ooze causes nothing but trouble. The Florentine National Guard has been mobilised to mop up this disgusting pollution, and is assisting the Bolognese in their efforts to halt this threat to the tranquility of our peninsular exitence. Papal blessings are expected on all those units who manage to disinfect an entire province. To their credit, even the French and Genovese are assisting in this cleanup.
Genoa – All: Does anyone have a few d's for a poor and seemingly friendless Genoa? Sending armies into Milan's rear, or Fleets into Avignon's front would also be quite a blessing...
