After Rich published the "CoCulator" for Chain of Command v2 in the Lard Magazine 2025 and explained the philosophy behind it, I’ve spent the last few weeks busy updating our Italian army lists for our Mediterranean theater games to the new edition.
In addition to the official National Characteristic "GRUPPO MITRAGLIATORI," we have decided to keep and adapt a few rules to ensure the Italians feel right on the tabletop:
"SAVOIA!": An adapted version of the German hand grenade rule.
"Avanti!": A special rule exclusively for the Bersaglieri, designed to represent their legendary speed and aggressive mobility.
Max and I have playtested these National Characteristics, and they’ve proven to be a great addition—they add flavor and tactical depth without disrupting the game balance.
You can always find the latest version of the lists via the links below - you need to click on the provided links below the pictures to open the corresponding PDFs!
- Divisione Livorno, Divisione Superga and Divisione Friuli:
- Fucilieri:
- Bersaglieri:
The lists for our "US Boys" and the Wehrmacht will follow in due time.
Beautiful work, as someone deep in trying to bring the Blitzkrieg in to the world of v2, I appreciate the effort this takes
ReplyDeleteThank you! Appreciate your work too (see my comment on your Blog) and as we will delve anytime soon into Operation Exporter, this will come in handy for us, especially regarding the French.
DeleteI will model the Vichy French and they did not change that much from 1940 at all.
