He isn't just another officer on the battlefield; Edison is the son of the Union's president and a military prodigy who was executing suicide missions before he even turned 18. Imagine a soldier who is, essentially, a one-man army. Armed with the most cutting-edge technology and the deadliest weapons the Union can muster, he can take down massive enemies with just a flick of a switch or a pull of a trigger. This expansion brings Edison's imposing presence to your table through a beautifully sculpted and painted miniature, ensuring that the visual impact matches the character's destructive power. But it's not just about aesthetics: the pack includes a detailed character sheet, specific tokens, and equipment cards that shift the combat dynamics. Additionally, you get a brand-new scenario, allowing your battles to gain new layers of strategy and narrative. Colonel Edison brings inspiring leadership and devastating abilities that can turn the tide of war in favor of the Union. If you enjoy 'overpowered' characters (in the best way possible) and want to add more tactical depth and firepower to your clashes, this is the ideal upgrade. It's the perfect opportunity to see how the Union's top-tier technology holds up against enemy hordes in extreme situations. Roll your dice, position your troops, and watch Colonel Edison clear the battlefield with the efficiency of someone born for war. ## FAQ ### Do I need the base game to use the Edison expansion?
