Who it's for
Wargamers who know the Men of Iron system and want its medieval Italian chapter.
Not for you if…
Long rules, historical order of battle detail and hex maps are not how you want to spend an evening.

Vibe's take
Deliberate and brutal – momentum swings when an activation fails, so a careful advance can collapse into a rout in a single exchange.
