Setting
Rolling hills and farmlands near Vittorio Veneto, with a mix of open fields and scattered patches of woodland. The battlefield is marked by craters from artillery shells, barbed wire entanglements, and the remnants of shattered trenches. A hilltop observation post overlooks the advancing Italian forces and retreating Austro-Hungarian troops.

General Armando Diaz
primary
A middle-aged Italian officer with a sturdy, compact build, standing at average height. His face is weathered from years of military service, with a strong jawline and a neatly trimmed mustache. His dark hair is graying at the temples, and his piercing brown eyes reflect both wisdom and determination.
Captain Rossi
secondary
A lean, wiry man in his early 30s with sharp features and a neatly trimmed mustache. His dark eyes are alert and focused, reflecting the intensity of the moment. His posture is upright, conveying military discipline, but there's a slight tension in his shoulders from the urgency of the battle.
British Liaison Officer
secondary
A lean, middle-aged man with sharp features, a neatly trimmed mustache, and piercing blue eyes. His posture is upright, reflecting his military background, and his hands are clasped behind his back as he observes the battlefield. His face is weathered but composed, with a hint of tension around the eyes.
Austro-Hungarian Colonel
secondary
A middle-aged officer with a gaunt face, sunken eyes, and a disheveled appearance. His once-pristine uniform is now covered in dirt and sweat, and his posture shows the weight of exhaustion and desperation. His hair is unkempt, and his mustache is frayed from constant nervous tugging.
Italian Infantry Sergeant
background
A rugged, battle-hardened man in his early 30s with a wiry but strong build. His face is smeared with dirt and sweat, and he has a short, unkempt beard. His dark eyes are sharp and focused, reflecting his determination. A faded scar runs along his left cheekbone, a testament to previous battles.
Austro-Hungarian Soldier
background
A young conscript, likely in his early 20s, with a lean and exhausted frame. His face is smeared with dirt and sweat, and his eyes are wide with panic. His uniform is tattered and stained, evidence of prolonged combat and harsh conditions.
Dialog
General Armando Diaz
The breakthrough is complete. Rossi, confirm the artillery has shifted to interdiction fire.
Captain Rossi
Confirmed, Generale. Battery positions updated—enemy retreat routes are under barrage.
British Liaison Officer
Their left flank is collapsing like a house of cards. Your infantry has done splendid work.
General Armando Diaz
Victory is not yet assured. Rossi, ensure the reserves are ready to exploit any gaps.
Captain Rossi
Already moving, Generale. The 3rd Division is advancing as we speak.
British Liaison Officer
If they break here, the war could be over by winter. A fine day’s work, General.
General Armando Diaz
Let us not celebrate prematurely. The Austrians still have teeth.
