This was also on the list for the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, but I've added it here in the hope that it might convince even more people to pre-order it.
A four player, card driven wargame dealing with the wars which led to the unifications of Italy and Germany. Sounds excellent.

This one is an operational game on Garibaldi campaign over the Alps during the initial and central phases of the Third Italian War of Independence.
With a very peculiar chit drawing activation method and a combat system that stresses fatigue over real casualties, I obey is a fascinating study of this neglected campaign, with a see-saw motion of the counters over the splendid map and the chance for both sides to gain an unexpected victory.
Medium complexity, 2/3 hours playing time, both for competitive and solitaire play.

This game is clearly not a wargame but I think it has a place on this list because of its very particular topic.... |

The game covers the 2nd Italian War of Independence.
The box contains two different games. One is a campaign game using a point to point map system. The other is a more traditional hex and chit system of combat and covers the major battles of Magenta and Solferino.

This small, but very competitive game on the first clash between the French-Piedmontese army and the Austrian one in May 1859 during the first phases of the campaign known as the Second Italian War for Independence, is an almost skirmish battle fought on the country roads and the fields near Voghera, on the road from Piedmont towards Milano. |
