About the game
The Terran portion of TEF5 is split between the Legions and the Marine Corps. The Legions prefer fast heavily armed hover MBTs and APCs supported by VTOLs and powered armor. The Marine Corps has discovered that units composed mostly of mecha and powered armor are able to drop from orbit and take spaceheads where necessary. Once the spacehead is established the Legions land their Scarab series dropships which haul in hover tanks and APCs into the spacehead. The Marine Corps mecha and power armor load back up and prepare to drop behind enemy lines or act as a highly mobile strategic reserve. Once on the ground the Legions use their speed and firepower to pin and flank any enemy units they come across. Myrmidons and Special Operations Capable forces conduct sabotage and asassination missions in support of the main thrust or assault. The Terran Expeditionary Force is the primary protaganist in the Great Unification War campaign. It provides both Gruntz and FUBAR stats for 18 Terran units and BOHICA stats for 16 Terran Alliance Starships and fighters. —description from the publisher
