We may have had to wait a bit longer for this "micro-expansion" to come out but Ironclad Games is still working on Entrenchment, the first of three such paid content downloads for their hit space strategy game Sins of a Solar Empire. This week the developer released about six new screenshots from the game which we have added to our already extensive gallery.

As we have reported on before, Entrenchment is all about defense with new units that are all about keeping ships at bay versus going on the offensive. While the micro-expansion was due for release last month it has now been pushed back into sometime in 2009 with a beta planned beforehand. Entrenchment will cost $9.99 and will be made available via download from Stardock's Impulse client.
