Heavy Steam: Armament Pack is an expansion for Heavy Steam released in 2014 ages 14 and up.
Heavy Steam’s heavy miniatures are designed to have detachable arms – but only come with one pair of arms each pre-attached. When you customize your steam titan with the many weapon cards in the game you’ll have to suspend disbelief when looking at the miniature. However, now with the Armament Pack you can customize your miniature steam titans to your heart’s desire. An Armament Pack comes with 2 pairs of each weapon (right and left arm variant) matching the weapon cards in the base game. That is a total of 18 miniature arms. In addition it will come with 1 new weapon – the special rail gun and matching weapon card! This equals a grand total of 20 miniatures.
The catalogue lists Heavy Steam: Armament Pack for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Heavy Steam: Armament Pack has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.

The catalogue lists Heavy Steam: Armament Pack as an expansion for Heavy Steam. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Heavy Steam to use it. Check that your edition of Heavy Steam is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
