New book in the collection

 Gabriele Esposito's Armies of the Medieval Italian Wars 1125–1325 (Men-at-Arms 523), illustrated beautifully by Giuseppe Rava, arrived today. This should calm my nerves a bit when it comes to planning out the painting of my Later Communal Italian army.

 

 

Note to Amazon: Please, for the love of all that is good and sacred, start shipping books so that they're better protected against damage!!! I bought this as "new" but it looks like it has seen plenty of action in the past; the cover has a couple of creases, corners bent, scuff marks, etc.

 The Lombard League (1167 AD - 1250 AD) was an alliance of Northern Italian cities formed as a defense against the Holy Roman Empire's attempts to assert influence over the Kingdom of Italy.

The cities represented in the League changed throughout its existence. These cities were as follows:

1167 - 1250 AD	1167 - 1208 AD	1226 - 1250 AD
