Wind rules affect projectile range and accuracy, altering targeting and creating unpredictable outcomes during firefights. New faction types bring distinct playstyles and synergies, while expanded setup options enable larger battles and varied scenarios. The expansion integrates with the core game to deepen tactical choices around positioning, specialization and resource use.
