## Description
Get ready to dive headfirst into Gotham's underworld with the League of Assassins expansion for Batman: Gotham City Chronicles! If you're a Batman fan and enjoyed the base game, this expansion brings a brand-new 3-mission campaign. The goal? To stop Ra's Al Ghul and his fearsome League of Assassins from destroying Gotham City. And believe me, Ra's is no pushover! He's one of the Bat's greatest foes, the kind who knows his secret identity and has the backing of his daughter Talia, the wicked Heretic, and the lethal Lady Shiva. All of them make their debut here, bringing 12 new miniatures and tons of action.

The campaign puts you in control of the heroes as they try to thwart Ra's eco-terrorist plans. He wants to purify Gotham, and to do that, he's devising a way to supercharge his assassins. The catch is, he needs DNA from his grandson Damien, Professor Langstrom's formula, and – get this – Batman's own DNA to create Man-Bat commandos. What he manages to collect in the first missions will determine these monsters' power in the final one. So, your actions really matter!

Beyond the campaign, the new characters and troops can be used in other Adventure mode missions or even recruited in Versus mode. The expansion adds tactical depth with new challenges and the chance to play as iconic villains leading the charge. If you enjoy games with miniatures, tactical combat, and a good dose of comic book-based narrative, this expansion is a must-have. Just be aware that the game is entirely in English, so a good reading level is essential to follow the story and rules.
