For this months updates we have several more Mobile Fighers from G Gundam to add to the MechaStellar roster including Neros Gundam, Tequila Gundam, Lumber (Grizzly) Gundam, John Bull (Royal) Gundam, Pharaoh Gundam and Minaret Gundam.
There’s been several major rules overhauls the last few months but for this month it will be relatively minor. Below you can find a summary of updates. The biggest change will be to Melee weapons. In an effort to reduce Mental Math any weapons that gave bonus dice (i.e. Melee ATK+1d10) instead give a bonus Hit or Block. Most of the Mobile Suits had a 1-to-1 swap on +1d10 to +1 Hit, but for our Super Robots they instead would trade +2d10 for +1 Hit and +1 ARM PEN.
Below you can find a Summary of Updates
