About the game
The Terran Legions is a joint effort funded by the United States, the European Union, Australia, Japan and India. It uses shared equipment, language and a shared organization to create a unified Terran Defense Force and Terran Expeditionary Legions. It offers citizenship in any of the alliance countries for a five year term of service in the Legions. The Legions take volunteers from any country and have recruiting offices in most countries. The Legion concept has worked wonderfully and in the last three years since the Centauri and Sentai campaigns 125 Legions have been raised and equipped. They have been training on the new equipment and learning to work together. Legions have been moved to Mars, Botany Bay, Plymouth Rock and Sentai. Fighting Vehicles V: Terran Military Forces in the Sol Sector will provide unit descriptions and game statistics for a typical Terran Legion and their tactics. This PDF is required to play through the Ghost War Campaign. —description from the publisher
