Barrage: The Legendary Box
Includes the base game and the Far Companies expansion, which adds two new playable companies with distinct mechanics and components. One company models earth-fill dam techniques: Elevations can be used as Bases to expand the number of dams that can be constructed, but those dams have lower height and capacity; Excavators replace Concrete Mixers for working Elevations. The other company focuses on flexibility: it can build Bases, Elevations, and Conduits in any order and choose from a wider range of strength and bonus types, at the cost that stronger bonuses permanently remove one or more machinery pieces. Each new company grants a special company ability once its third powerhouse is completed.

from 2 Ludoya reviews
The whole game fits in but Cranio have not put as much as this box requires. They had not interest to do a good job. Too many wasted space that could make the box perfect smaller and even efficiently to take out everything. The resources are mixted and I don't really like it. It could be improved and destinate a slot for each type and value. Too bad Cranio...

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
Can I produce with a Dam and Powerhouse in the same basin, even without a Conduit?
No. Production requires your Powerhouse, a Dam holding water, and an active Conduit connecting them; a Dam and Powerhouse in the same basin are not connected. (Rulebook, pp. 6–7)
Can I use another player’s Conduit, and what do they get?
Yes, if it directly connects the Dam and your Powerhouse. Pay its owner 1 Credit and they score 1 VP for each Water Drop you move through it. (Rulebook, pp. 6–7)
Can I combine two productions to meet a Contract, or claim multiple Contracts with one production?
No. A single production must meet the Contract’s energy requirement, and you may fulfil only one Contract per production. (Rulebook, p. 16)
Does water keep flowing through a Dam, or can I move water out of it whenever I want?
Water stops behind a Dam until it is full; additional Drops then flow past it. Drops held in a Dam cannot move until you perform a production action. (Rulebook, p. 6)
Can I take another action after placing Engineers, or use a red-outlined space without paying extra?
On your turn, place Engineers on one free action space and perform that action; your turn then ends. A red-outlined action space also requires 3 Credits when you place the Engineers. (Rulebook, pp. 12–13)
Do I need to produce 6 Energy Units in one production to qualify for the round’s Bonus tile?
No. Your Energy Track total for the round must reach at least 6; the reward is full if you reach the current round’s section, and reduced by 4 VP per section behind. Below 6, you get no reward. (Rulebook, p. 20)
