The inclusion of these outposts can transform the dynamics of the base game, offering new tactical points to control on the battlefield.

You can use these elements to enhance the main game or even create standalone scenarios, testing your aiming and tactical skills in fast-paced and exciting battles. It's an expansion that maintains the essence of 'Crossbows and Catapults': pure fun with a touch of dexterity!
