About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to supercharge your space battles in Red Alert: Space Fleet Warfare with the Quartermaster's Escalation Pack! If you enjoy customizing your fleet and adding that extra strategic punch, this one's for you. This beauty brings 48 new markers, split between the Commonwealth and Confederation factions, allowing you to expand and customize the variety and number of support vessels entering battle. But it doesn't stop there: two new units are ready to join the fray! The Commonwealth gains guard destroyer squadrons, perfect for protecting their front lines, while the Rebel Confederation now fields elite long-range fighter squadrons, ready for surprise attacks and advanced reconnaissance missions. The pack includes a punchboard of starship tokens and a rulebook with special rules for these new unit types and an additional 7 new scenarios for you to dive into. With a modular board and campaign play options, each game promises to be unique. Dice rolling adds that spice of unpredictability, and hand management forces you to think carefully about each move. It's the ideal expansion for existing Red Alert fans looking for more tactical options and fleet diversity. If you enjoy science fiction wargames focused on combat and customization, you'll love having these new options at your disposal to dominate the galaxy.
