MechCommander Lostech Mod Alpha 01 file

May you add your download description with a detailed changelog and WHAT exactly you have changed (new item lists - new unit lists - differences in comparison?).

Would like to assist you forming this into a "thing" for MechCommanders used as optional update or more later.

NimoStar's
MECHCOMMANDER: LOSTECH

This was made to be put into RiZzen's Darkest Hours 4.2 standalone version. Download that first if you haven't. Original game unnecesary (it's free and legal).
Seems unlikely this will work on the default MechCommander Gold version due to dependencies, but its untested.

How to install:
move to your main Mechcommander Darkest Hours folder and 'Extract here' (or otherwise extract/copy contents to that folder)
Overwrite everything and anything (especially DATA folder and subfolders)

former VEHICLE REBALANCE REBALANCE
+ ETC. change name
AKA:
* The Lostech Vault
* L&L (Lostech & Lurm)
* Lurming & Fun kit
