## Description
If you're already into the Tannhäuser universe and want to spice up your games, the Matriarchy Troop Pack is the right choice! This expansion brings two new, finely crafted miniatures for the Matriarchy faction: the fearless Boepripacy Soldat and the Zazigag Soldat, ready to set everything ablaze with its flamethrower. In addition to the miniatures, you'll get game tokens and brand-new equipment cards to power up your characters. 

The pack also includes a 12-page booklet featuring a brand-new scenario. In it, a Nippon Accords force faces an alliance of UMTOMA soldiers, while the Reich, with Karl Zermann, attempts to recover an ancient artifact. It's another dose of action and strategy in this alternate world where World War II blends with elements of fantasy and horror. 

For those who enjoy games with miniatures and variable powers, this expansion adds more tactical options. Dice rolling remains a key element, bringing that unpredictability we love (or hate!) in combat games. If you're looking to expand your Tannhäuser adventures with new units and an exclusive scenario, this pack is a great addition to your collection. Remember that, as it's an expansion, you need the base game to play.

## FAQ
### Do I need the base Tannhäuser game to play with this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! The Matriarchy Troop Pack adds content to the base game, so you need to own it to use the new miniatures, cards, and scenario.

### How many players can participate with this expansion?
The base Tannhäuser game is for 2 to 10 players. This expansion adds units and a scenario but doesn't change the player count supported by the main game.

### What is the average playtime for a game with the new scenario?
The estimated playtime for the base game is 60 minutes. The new scenario in this expansion should stay within that range, but it may vary depending on player experience and adopted strategies.

### Does the game's complexity increase with this expansion?
Tannhäuser already has moderate complexity (BGG weight of 1.75). This expansion adds new tactical options and a scenario but doesn't introduce radically new mechanics that significantly increase the overall complexity.

### What exactly comes in the box besides the miniatures?
Besides the two painted miniatures (Boepripacy Soldat and Zazigag Soldat), you'll find game tokens, equipment cards, and a 12-page rulebook with an exclusive new scenario.

### Do I need to translate anything to play?
Yes, Ludopedia indicates 'Moderate Language Dependency'. It's recommended to have a translated player aid or translated cards to facilitate gameplay, especially with the new scenario and equipment.
