Here is a 1000pt game using units from Mazinger Z. Player 1 (Toeizinger) has the Toei versions of Mazinger Z, Diana A and Boss Borot while Player 2 (Kikaiju) has Kingdan X10, Garada K7 and 2x Doublas M2 Kikaiju. You can find the profiles for these units on the MechaStellar game downloads page. The figures used are from the Go Nagai Robot Collection, you can find more information on Mazinger figures here.
The players are using the “Defend the City / Rampage” versus mode where one player is rampaging through the city and the other player is trying to stop them as soon as they can.
This post will be a turn by turn gameplay example using MechaStellar VER9.5 rules. This example does not cover individual rolls for the units such as evade or melee. If you are brand new to MechaStellar and want to see how the a turn goes from start to finish including every dice roll then check out this gameplay example using Mobile Suit Gundam’s 08th MS Team.
Below the break we will cover the game setup, deployment, and the 1st round of a 5 round game of MechaStellar. We will go by turn by turn each round and include some insights into the Gundam Tactics.

Note: This was a battle report from MechaStellar VER7 there are a number of updates to gameplay and victory points since that time. For instance in this version only a single armor save was rolled but failing it was instant death.
The 2nd game that day we were able to accommodate another player who was joyfully able to play as Epyon as well as a Kaiju from Pacific Rim. Wing and Heavy Arms returned as Attackers while Gipsy, Big Zam, Gundam and Guncannon returned as Defenders along with Deathscythe. You’ll find the Battle Report below the break.

This is probably my favorite game we had of Defend the City. We had a tag team match with two players on each side. Defend the City is a game mode where the Defenders are trying to preserve the city while the Attackers attempt to destroy it.
The Attacker side had units from Gundam Wing (Wing & Heavy Arms) plus units from Gundam SEED (Freedom & Justice). In the 2v2 game each player picked a Commander trait, Wing had Vigilant Leader and Justice had Three Times as Fast.
The Defender side focused on Mobile Suit Gundam with an unlikely alliance between the Federation and Zeon. They had Big Zam, Zaku IIs, Gelgoogs, Amuro in the Gundam plus two Guncannons along with Gipsy Danger from Pacific Rim. In the 2v2 game each player picked a Commander trait, Big Zam had Resourceful while Amuro had Unyielding.
The players were using the Battle Damage and Climactic Events modules.
Below the break you’ll find the battle report. We were having a lot of fun with everyone at the table and the audience and so only remembered to take a few photos per Round.

Mazinger as well as Getter Robo are both large franchises and each have their own where to start posts.
