With the under the table transfer of GP04 to Zeon, Cima Garahau’s forces modified the unit with additional armor obscuring it’s iconic Gundam frame beneath a more Zeonic look. This post we’ll look at some tactics for one of the few Zeon Gundam units on the tabletop.

[MS] Tactics – GP04 Gerbera

GP04 Gerbera is a cancelled prototype after the overhaul of the GP01 into the GP01-Fb.  Since the two units would now be filling similar roles, the GP04 was deemed redundant and design efforts were halted.  Conveniently, this allowed Anaheim Electronics (AE) the opportunity to play both sides of the conflict and ship the mostly complete unit to Zeon’s Cima Garahau who then modified it into the GP04 Gerbera Tetra which we see on screen.

MechaStellar – June Update

No update for this month since our family is in the middle of an overseas PCS move.

In better news, we’ve made good progress on the Warship rules and plan to get them out by the end of August. This will give a lot of targets for the GP03 Dendrobium and Neue Ziel to shoot down.

[MechaStellar] Unit Roster Update April 2022

For this month’s MechaStellar update we are featuring units from Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory.  This is an OVA series from the 90s with very detailed mechanical designs and gorgeous animation for Mobile Suit dogfighting.  With a top notch opening song reminiscent of Highway to the Danger Zone many have called this Gundam’s version of Top Gun.
