Today I got stuck into the Rampart expansion. This adds the ability to do four player (irrelevant to me), support equipment (i.e. the ballista, first aid tent, and ammo cart), and, of course the Rampart faction.

There’s a pair of hero models, as well as a model for each troop type in the faction. The troop models are only really used with the hex based combat expansion, but that doesn’t work (supposedly) with single player. Maybe one day they can be a nice painting project. Since they’re not essential though, I’m not worrying about painting them up before I play.

The expansion has another three scenario campaign. The first scenario took me about four hours to play and I really enjoyed it again. I realised I’ve been getting a few mechanics wrong so far and corrected that. I still keep forgetting to use the AI deck when fighting an enemy hero. I’m sure I’ll remember everything in another couple of games.
