-----• Dust Tactics: "Grim Reapers" - Heavy Ranger Attack Squad

-----(I'm polling players of Dust Tactics as to the best way to name expansions. Chime in if you haven't already...)

Expansions for Tannhäuser

Phew! The list had other items, such as card sleeves with art from FFG games, but I'm sticking with game coverage and leaving it at that.
