About the game
If you're already feeling the tension of Nemesis: Retaliation, get ready to throw more people into the line of fire. This expansion introduces two new specialists to your squad, each with a completely different playstyle, shifting the dynamics of how you deal with alien threats. First, we have the UAV Operator, the tech genius. He's not the type to engage in melee combat if he can avoid it; instead, he dominates the battlefield using drones for reconnaissance, surveillance, and precision strikes. If you love the idea of having 'eyes everywhere' and manipulating hardware for a tactical edge, this is your character.

On the other hand, we have the Sharpshooter. Now, let's be honest: putting a sniper in tight corridors and claustrophobic rooms seems like the worst idea ever, right? But that's exactly where the fun lies. With a steady hand and an incredible eye, the Sniper changes the game when he finds the right line of sight. He brings that devastating firepower that can save the group (or ensure no one interferes with your own secret plans) with his beloved precision rifle.

These new characters aren't just 'more of the same.' They introduce new layers of strategy: while the UAV Operator provides support and intel, the Sniper provides long-range lethality. The addition of these roles expands the squad composition possibilities, allowing players to experiment with new ways to survive — or betray — in the hostile environment of Retaliation. If you want to diversify your squad's tactics and add more depth to your sessions, these two new recruits are the missing piece for your table.
