MechaStellar – June Update

No update for this month since our family is in the middle of an overseas PCS move. I haven’t had a chance to compile the feedback we’ve gotten from players into any revisions but I’m hoping to do a large update in July, barring that August. For those of you eager to play GP03 or Neue Ziel the points will likely be between 1000-1200; we’re still ironing out the equipment choices and what is “reasonable” on a single unit.

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.
