On the Italian Front map things are a little different. The Austro Hungarian fleet had some BB's  (Tegettof Class?) but again the first priority should be small craft.
This is simply not true - both Italy and Austria-Hungary had major capital vessels (dreadnoughts and pre-dreadnoughts alike) in the Adriatic and used them operationally. Also, other Entente forces have sent their battleships to the area. Besides shore bombardment missions, there were several major naval engagements and both sides have endured losses in them.

Interesting stuff. I should read more about it.

If you've got any good info on the Erebus Class monitors (Erebus and Terror) that would be very interesting. Built in 1916 but went on to provide active service in the Med in WWII, so useful for both eras. I have drawings of the WWII Roberts Class monitors, but they do not have such an interesting service history.
ashe, i have some very basic info on those, gleaned from 'Jane's Fighting Ships of WW1'
as i say, pretty basic stuff, weapons, dimensions, and a pretty rudimentary top-down and side profile. if you think it'll help, i can upload that for you. ;)

i'd also like to add that, as always, i think the smaller, more often used type of ships, will be a much more useful additions for mission-builders. nice as the bigger battleship types are, they do involve a lot more work from a modeler's point of view, and then are limited in the amount of useful scenarios they can be involved in, whereas the smaller types, even auxiliaries, transports, tugs, river gunboats, etc are much more versatile, and can be usefully applied in many scenarios. just my 5 cents on the battleship story. ;)

My local library is getting me a copy of Big Gun Monitors, by Ian Buxton, so I'll see if that has any good illustrations.

"Big Gun Monitors" by Ian Buxton has LOTS of photos and drawings of all WW1 and WW2 monitors that served with the RN- from the first 14" monitors of WW1 to the last 15", built in WW2. It's probably out of print, though- my copy was printed in 1980, ISBN is 0-87021-104-8.
If necessary I could scan the pages of the relevant class if anybody wants to model it. I vaguely recall seeing a 3D model of the Italian "Faa di Bruno" somewhere, but can't remember where.

Thanks Gerrit but I've got a copy reserved for me at the local library so I'll be able to see what is in it when I get it.
