7 4/10/2025 2:19:00 PM 218 BC Rome Message Changes in the Phalanx edition:
Movement between straits: movement along the strait passage between the two cities of Rhegium and Messana only requires control of the originating city. (10.6.2.) Phalanx rules refer specifically only to Messana and Rhegium.

Card #30 Carthaginian Siege Train: The Phalanx card text allows placement of up to 4 Siege Trains. Subsequent plays of this card as an event allows placement of a siege train with another army up to the limit of 4. When 4 siege trains are on the board, a subsequent play of the card allows an existing siege train to be moved from one army to another army.

Roman Allies in Italia: Rome can have a maximum of 2 battle cards for Allies in Italia for control of provinces (14.3.2). Latinum can count as one of the two qualifying provinces in addition to the militia battle card bonus for battles taking place in Latinum.
