The default for Anova() is "type-II" tests, but the computational approach taken doesn't provide a test for the intercept, which is the only between-subject term in the model; thus, a "type-III" test is substituted. In a model with only an intercept, there is no distinction between the two "types" of tests. More generally, types II and III tests address different hypotheses in models in which some terms are marginal to others. There's a brief explanation in my R and S-PLUS Companion to Applied Regression (Wiley, 2002), which is the book associated with the car package in which Anova() resides. There's a more complete discussion in my Applied Regression Analysis and Generalized Linear Models, Second Edition (Sage, 2008). Neither book, BTW, discusses repeated-measures models.
