Risorgimento 1859 - 1861, the 2d Italian War of Independence is an independent Age of Valor (AOV) expansion chapter or mini-module for Age of Eagles II, also known as Napoleonic Fire & Fury. As such AOE II is needed to properly play this game. In most cases all rules changes have been imbedded in the Data Charts as well as the charts and tables on the Quick Reference Sheet. All players need to do is use these new specifications or DRMs with the original rules, then play as normal. Any changes unique to the Risorgimento 1859 - 1861, the subject of this expansion set, are included for both the conflict overall, and the included battles of Magenta, Solferino, San Martino and Volturno scenarios. The AOV product line is sold primarily via a digital PDF distribution format, though a hardcopy version is available from certain retailers. It is 38 pages long
