About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already a Tannhäuser player looking to inject some extra chaos and vengeance into the battlefield, get ready to meet Oksana! She isn't just another character; she's a former Archimandrite with a heavy past and a thirst for revenge that can flip the entire game on its head. Oksana has arrived to shake up the Matriarchy (the faction introduced in the Operation Novgorod expansion), and you never quite know if she'll be your greatest ally or the nightmare that ruins your entire strategy.
Her real strength lies in her technological mastery. Oksana commands the Voïvodes, mechanical drones that follow her orders without hesitation. In gameplay terms, when you select her as your hero, you gain the ability to deploy two of these drones onto the field. However, there's a strategic trade-off: to leverage this tech advantage, you must replace one of your standard Troopers with these two Voïvodes. It's that classic 'quality over quantity' tactical decision that every strategist loves to weigh.
The components are top-notch, featuring a highly detailed pre-painted figure of Oksana herself, two pre-painted Voïvode miniatures, character sheets, and equipment tokens. Beyond the tactical depth, this expansion also includes a brand-new custom scenario in the rulebook, sending her on a high-stakes mission through Reich territory to recover lost documents. Just a heads-up: if you're playing with Zor'ka from the Operation Novgorod expansion, you can't have them on the same team. This is a must-have expansion for players seeking fresh dynamics and characters with intense personality in the Tannhäuser universe.
