Updating the Front: Italian Army Lists for Chain of Command v2

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:

• Divisione Livorno, Divisione Superga and Divisione Friuli:

If you spot any errors or have suggestions, please leave a comment—I’ll review them and make corrections as soon as possible.

The lists for our "US Boys" and the Wehrmacht will follow in due time.

CoC v2 lists simply require more effort, especially given the new color-coded layout for support options, which is quite time-consuming to implement.
