Publication Description[]
Get into the Shadows!
It appeared that peace arrived in 3080 after many years of war. Finally, information could be gathered about units that fought in the Jihad. These unknown designs have arisen from the shadows. We have also received more data regarding the fall of the Star League, with new units that fought in that war.
The Technical Readout Shadows of War 1.0 is the translated version of a much bigger Spanish Fan-Made TRO. You will enjoy mechs of all eras, combat vehicles and unusual units.
