## Description
If you're a Barrage enthusiast constantly hunting for that extra layer of complexity and new ways to dominate the board, this is for you. This is a promotional item (originally released at Modena Play 2022) introducing a new Executive Officer: Franz De Lasse. But don't be fooled—this isn't just a fancy name on a card; he introduces a very specific energy management dynamic that can shift your entire gameplay rhythm.

Franz's mechanic focuses on a unique way of handling energy flow. When you perform a production action and fulfill a Contract, but the energy produced exceeds the contract's value, you don't just jump ahead on the track. Instead, you move your marker on the Energy Track only by that surplus amount. It's all about precision! Additionally, there's a 'reset' rule during the End of Round Phase: if you've climbed high on the track, your marker moves back to the lower limit of the current round's section. If you haven't reached that limit, your marker stays put.

In short, Franz De Lasse is for players who love calculating every single unit of energy with surgical precision. He adds a layer of risk management and optimization that fits perfectly with the technical and strategic nature of Barrage. It's a must-have for players who have already mastered the system and want to test new routes of economic efficiency and resource control within the game's dam and hydroelectric ecosystem. Sharpen your strategy, because energy management just got a lot more detailed!
