Into the Breach's free Advanced Edition makes a great game even better

Around here we love Into the Breach, the 2018 tactical RPG-slash-chess game-slash-giant robot power fantasy from FTL developer Subset Games. The deceptively simple title hasn't lost any of its charm in the last few years, but today there's an expansion out that's adding a few thousand tons of content (get it, because the mechs are big?) to the sterling formula. Best of all, this "Advanced Edition" is a completely free update to both existing owners and new players. If you're new to Into the Breach, it's been described as "chess with giant robots." That's a bit reductive -- chess starts off with no less than 32 pieces, and Into the Breach rarely has even half that many on the board -- but then, so is the game itself.
