Sure, but since NERPS hasn't really done any town/country descriptions the
times it has happened, it didn't have all that much of an impact.

You are wrong. FASA is aware the NERPS list is around, but they don't (to
the best of my knowledge) consider us any more official than anyone else
putting stuff on the net.

Something to keep in mind is that "FASA-licensed" is not the same as
"FASA-published." The Germany sourcebook is apparently a good example of
this, in that the German (original) and English (FASA) editions differ on
some points, AFAIK. There's a bit of German text in the front of the
English edition saying that the German book is the official one in
Germany, so if FASA would publish an English version of an Italian
sourcebook, that's what might very well happen there too. Of course, the
changes aren't world-shocking, so on the whole it doesn't really make all
that much of a difference.
I guess the questions are: when will the "official" Italian SB be
published, and when do we expect the NAGTTW to be finished?
