Here are two short but fun battle reports using the MechaStellar VER9.2 Rules for After War Gundam X Units. These are 1/144 scale Gundam figures.
These are 500pt games with the GX-9900 is facing off against 2x Jenice MS (represented by the Gouf Custom and Crimson Zaku II) and 2x Septems (represented by the High mobility Zakus). We took off the Anti-Beam Coating to make the enemy units cheaper.
Garrod’s
- Commander Trait – Resourceful
- Pilot Skills – Fire Vulcans & Shooting Counterattack
Jenice & Septem Team
- Commander Trait – Vigilant Leader
- Pilot Skills – Accelerate & Bullseye
Garrod is up first and completely nails the Septum on the high ground with a few critical hits instantly killing it. Garrod then gloats, “This should be an easy match”.
The remaining Septem activates and moves forward firing its Bazooka draining Garrod’s momentum.
One Jenice captures another Control Point while the 2nd uses Full Throttle to gain the High Ground advantage and also capture the middle control point. I should note the enemy now has a big Momentum lead from taking over control points.
Round 2
“Uh oh” says Garrod’s player, realizing they should have moved the GX further back.
The Jenice is up first, fires its machine gun from the high ground then moves into melee. The GX Shield Rifle transforms and blocks it.
“Oh no”, says Garrod’s Player. Unused to playing against zeon-esque units with such good speed they did not anticipate them all getting into melee IN ROUND 2.
The 3rd unit gains outnumbers the GX but thanks to a lucky roll survives.
Round 3
To add insult to injury, Garrod did not go first this round. Or at all.
Personally I blame the base, it was holding him back.
REMATCH GAME
Garrod adopts a Gandalf power stance from the get-go. The enemy is intimidated.
Playing it smart the GX tries to snipe the high ground Septem again but fails to kill it, they then retreat making LOS difficult. The Septem has to move midfield to get a shot in.
This round the enemy opts to capture every available Control Point replenishing their Momentum lost keeping the first Septum alive.
ROUND 2
Like shooting fish in a barrel, Garrod is up first and puts a hole through the cockpit of the blue Jenice.
The GX retreats towards the edge of the board being pursed by the enemy but thanks to cover it survives this round and a Fire Vulcans skill chews away at the HP of the remaining Jenice.
Round 3
Garrod is up first, he fires his beam rifle at the Red & Black Septem who dodges then melee attacks the Red Jenice, soaking up Overwatch fire and cleaves him in half.
The Red & Black Septem is up first, fires its bazooka then moves into melee. Garrod narrowly survives, never breaking power stance.
Garrod waits until the Blue Septem gets into melee range then uses Fire Vulcans to kill off the red and black Septem and narrowly parries the blue Septem.
Round 4
The Blue Septem is up first but fails to get through Garrod’s melee defense and melee pool. Garrod strikes back destroying it.
A fine battle, I think I’ll take the helm as a trophy!
