About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! If you're a fan of the classic Space Crusade and feel it could use an extra kick of destruction and despair, the Mission Dreadnought expansion is for you! This little gem adds super-powerful weapons, the kind that really pack a punch, and of course, the dreaded Chaos Dreadnoughts, beefier and ready to give you a headache. The inspiration here comes from a heavy historical moment: the siege of a factory in Stalingrad in 1943. So you can already imagine the atmosphere, right? It's time to dive headfirst into tense, action-packed battles, where every decision counts and your Space Marines' survival hangs by a thread.

Mission Dreadnought doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it does turbocharge the base game experience. If you already own Space Crusade and want more challenges, more firepower, and tougher enemies to face, this expansion delivers all of that. Prepare for harder missions and to test your tactics to the limit against the forces of Chaos. It's a feast for those who enjoy cooperative games with a space wargame theme and a touch of dark science fiction. Turn up the volume, gather your crew, and let's get to the fight!
