Great rundown. You will find that the Arts of War are more symmetrical in this volume, as we are not here depicting the clash of two distinct cultures as in Nevsky or Almoravid. So that may make the Arts of War easier to master, while learning the new Revolt and Treachery aspects.

"Guelfs" and "Ghibellines" was pronounced spot-on (they are the Anglicized versions of the Italian "guelfi" and "ghibellini"), but "Acerbi" would be "ah-cher-be," with the "ch" pronounced like the "ch" in the English word "church." All Italian "c"s and "g"s are hard, except when immediately preceeding an "e" or "i," when "ce" and "ci" sound "chay" and "chee," and "ge" and "gi" sound "jay" and "gee," respectively. An intervening "h" before the "e" or "i," as in ghibelinni, will "convert" the "c" or "g" back to a hard pronunciation, which is why you really only see "h"s in original Italian words sandwiched between a "c" or a "g" and an "e" or an "i." Otherwise, "c"s are never sounded like an "s," which is one major difference between Italian and Spanish pronunciation. My apologies, in advance, for the overly pedantic and hopefully not too convoluted explanation.

Nice explanation. However I have met several Norther Italians who swear (at me) that it would be AKERBI. :)

@Armando Signore perhaps I've given away my family's Southern (Campanese) roots! I've never heard such an Italian dialect in the modern day that would pronounce "ce" as "kay" without the intervening "h," but I am absolutely no expert. That would be the typical ancient Latin (as opposed to the later liturgical Latin) pronunciation, however, so it's well within the realm of probability. Thank you for the info!

They must have been joking because acerbi is indeed pronounced as Richard wrote

@@richarddefortuna2252 Piacere! My family is from Lazio between Roma and Napoli. Original town was Minturno. I have been wanting a Guelf and Ghibelline political/military game for ages. My favourite town to relax in is Siena (even named my daughter Siena).

@Armando Signore altrettanto! My family is in the mountains just outside of Benevento (lo squadro seems to have lost the drive this year - it was great fun seeing them play in Serie A and B the last few years!). I fell in love with Siena many years ago when I was studying in Roma - I spent many a weekend under the stars above Il Campo hanging out and playing guitars with the University students! This Guelfs and Ghibellines is actually my second; Europa Simulazione issued a very interesting hex and counter game under the same name back in 2009 or so. It covers Montaperti, Benevento, and Campaldino. Very nice system!

I read that there is a ton of errata on this first printing, which is dissapointing...

The errata sheet doesn't look overwhelming, actually. It looks more like an accummulation of minor edits and typos, plus a few clarifications.

It's certainly not what anyone wants to see. But I think 'a ton' is exaggerated. There seems to be half a page of clarifications, about 10 changes to the background book and most importantly 9 points relating to the rules - which I have just read and think the game would probably play the same without the changes - they seem for the most part clarified wording. No game materials are incorrect. I wonder if it is sometimes worth putting out errata sheets (if the game isn't broken) - people tend to look at it and get scared!

I'm new to wargames, but I saw that almost every new games has multiple errata. I agree with you, it is frustrating, but I think we just have to accept it
