Mobile Suit Gundam Battle System

has been presented in the other Gundam series.
The Battle
System therefore reflects the claustrophobic down to earth
Mobile suit actions that took part on Earth during the One
Year War of UC079 and its immediate aftermath.
Now you can command your own teams of Mobile Suits in battle.
You can choose your side: take command of a beleaguered
Federation Mobile team or the Zeon Expeditionary forces - with
their powerful Zaku’s, Doms and Magella Attack Tanks.
What You Need

Alongside this rule book, each player will need several 6 sided dice,
a Warhammer 40,000 scatter die and a ruler or tape measure with
inches included. Each player should also have a written copy of
their army detailing suits, upgrades and any experience earned.
Extra paper and pens are highly recommended for record keeping
during the game.
Each player must provide a complement of 1/144 scale miniatures
to represent their forces, as well as miniatures or other materials
for battlefield cover and terrain. The book generally assumes the
use of Bandai's High Grade Universal Century line of miniatures,
though players should not feel limited to just these. Similar scale
action figures would also be appropriate.
The most important item for any game however is a good attitude
and sense of fair play. At the end of the day, we are all living out
our fantasies of piloting giant robots with plastic models.
The Mobile Suit Gundam Battle System rulebook is designed to be
fully self contained. It includes the full rules for playing the game as
well as army lists for both the Earth Federation and Principality of
Zeon.

Pilot Characteristics vs. Suit Characteristics
Most characteristics are inherent to the pilot and his training. This
is represented by the pilot's stat line, found in the army list. A
mobile suit can improve elements of a pilot’s stat line as
well, represented by a +X found in the mobile suit's entry in the
Hangar. The exception to this is Strength (S), which replaces
the pilot's value.

Earth Federation
The Federation Mobile Suit force is large a diverse organization
with many specialized formations such as the Pathfinders and
Sniper units. The most common military unit to be found is the
Mobile Suit Teams, three or more Mobile Suits led by a
Commander who under take patrol duties, engage and destroy
missions, and even infiltration operations.
The Mobile suit team is the jack of all trades and is a vital part
of the Federation armed group. The list below is designed to
reflect the nature of a Mobile Suit team and any support units
that might be assigned to them to complete their mission –
such as Guntanks or even Guncannons.

Every army will contain at least one HQ pilot to lead it Note, sometimes a single choice may allow you to take more than
one physical unit.
Elite pilots are veterans who have honed their Mobile Suit skills
in countless battles. They are granted access to a wide range of
Mobile Suits and equipment in order to defeat their opponents.
Troops are newer pilots and form the core of any force. These
pilots are not as experienced as others in a Mobile Suit force and
costs less points as a result. Every army will contain at least 2
Troops.
Heavy Support pilots are long-range combat experts. These
soldiers are experienced and are granted special access to larger,
destructive weapons and powerful Mobile Suits.

RX-78-2 Gundam
The RX-78 Gundam, a product of
the Earth Federal Forces'
Operation V program, is a state-
of-the-art close combat mobile
suit, developed for use by the
Federation Navy. This versatile
prototype is equipped with the
same sturdy Luna Titanium armor
and adaptive learning computer as
the Guncannon and Guntank. Its
armed with a pair of lethal beam
sabers, and can carry a hyper
bazooka or a powerful beam rifle
for longer-range combat.
A total of eight RX-78 units were produced at Jaburo, the

Federal Forces headquarters. In August of UC 0079, three of
these were sent to the Side 7 research colony for further
testing. These three units were upgraded to the RX-78-2
version, with higher power output to satisfy its beam rifle's
energy requirements, and their initial color schemes were
changed to eye- catching demonstration colors.
On September 18, the mobile assault carrier White Base arrived
at Side 7 to collect the prototypes and their vital test data. As
fate would have it, a Zeon cruiser spotted the White Base in
transit and launched a surprise attack on Side 7. With most of
the White Base crew and the Side 7 garrison wiped out, it fell to
a fifteen-year-old civilian named Amuro Ray to pilot the sole
surviving Gundam prototype and fend off the attackers. In the
months to come, Amuro would become the greatest ace of the
One Year War, and the RX-78-2 Gundam would become a
legend.

Ablative Armor
Some Suits are fitted with Ablative armor; extra plates the overlay
vital systems and is designed to distribute weapons energy.
Suits wearing ablative armor can disregard the first penetrating hit
on their suit. After that all shots will penetrate as normal as the
ablative armor is now useless.
Improved Comms
Command Suits are sometimes fitted with improved commas,
keeping the Teams command in touch with his troops, even in a
storm of Minovsky particles.
Suits within 12” of a Command suit fitted with improved comms
can use their commander’s leadership to take tests on.
Heat Rod
The Heat Rod is a very dangerous weapon in the hands of an
experienced pilots its capable of shorting out Mobile Suits
rendering them inoperable. It can be also used to grab an
opponent in HTH, entangling them and reducing their number of
attacks.
A Heat Rod attack takes place just before hand to hand happens.
Roll to hit as if you are firing at the enemy suit, if you hit roll a die
and apply the result.
Heat Rod Effect Table
1-2 Miss: Proceed as usual
3-4 Pilot Shocked: Suit Loses an Attack this round
5 Mobile Suit Overload: Roll on the glancing hit table.
6 Mobile Suit System Blow: Suit Immobilized for the
remainder of the game
Cracker Grenade
Zeon forces have developed a number of anti-Suit targeting
devices. One of which is the Cracker grenade. When used it can
overload the visual sensors of a Mobile suit rendering them
useless for a short while.
A Cracker is used in HTH combat and can only very once per
game for each suit that carries one. It’s sudden flash and
scrambling electronic waves will overload the Zeon’s opponent
on a role of 5+ rendering the enemy suit unable to attack back for
that turn or defend itself for that turn.
Targeter
A Targeting computer helps a Pilot keep a lock on his target by
calculating range, speed and various other factors in to the firing
solution. A lot of Mobile Suits have a targeter built in and the +1
to hit is already included in their Pilot bonus profile. It may be
purchased by others, adding a +1 to their shooting To Hit rolls.
