Stretch Goal 4: Drop Dead Echo (PDF): We will create another scenario, Drop Dead Echo, where the players must use signals collection to find the insurgents elusive courier. Should this goal be reached, the Deluxe editions Intelligence Arc, will link this as the fifth scenario for the Iron Crossing Campaign. This stretch goal is digital.

Stretch Goal 5: Four Tactical maps pack (PDF): We will hire RPG cartographer, Tiffany Munro, to create four more tactical maps. This stretch goal is both digital and physical.
