What a coincidence, we just finished the mini-campaign this afternoon! I really like this one. You're so right, it's hard to discuss much about the expansion's contents at all. I guess one way to describe it would be that if it were a wargame like Squad Leader the expansion would be a sequence of scenarios using programmed instruction to introduce new mechanics. That's as opposed to an expansion that sort of dumps all of the new stuff on you at once. And _The_ _Emergence_ _of_ _Shy_ _Pluto_ from AEG wraps a short, punchy story around it all. I think that one of the Scythe expansions (The Rise of Fenris, perhaps?) may work in a similar way. As a gamer I applaud these efforts to expand original games in clever ways that tell stories!
We finally got this today, better late than never.
Fantastic!
Space Base is such a fun game we know we'll love it!
I haven’t played it. I’m gonna check your space base review. I love space themes :)
William Garcia It’s a great game.

Agreed!
