Battle Report – Gundam Odessa 1500pts

Here’s a battle report for a large MechaStellar 1500pt game featuring 15+ units on both sides. This game was played before the recent HP / Evade overhaul and points rebalance so expect some discrepancies.

For the narrative we decided on portraying a slice of the Odessa campaign featuring some heavy hitters on both sides including Yuu Kajima’s Blue Destiny (with Hughes and Sumona in GM Cold Districts / GM Command Early type) and the White Dingo GM Sniper II on the Federation side and M’Quve and his Gyan along with Nimbus and the Efreet Custom on the Zeon side.

Yuu and the Blue Destiny weren’t paired up until after Odessa but a little anachronism is part of the fun in running a MechaStellar “What if?” game. Likewise the White Dingo was in Australia and the GM Sniper II wouldn’t be produced for some time.

Keep reading to see some anachronistic Gundam battles. At the end you’ll find the Gundam Tactics Post Mortem from both players.

MechaStellar Unit Roster Update – November 2023 – Gundam X

For this month’s update we have the long awaited After War Gundam X, an Alternate Universe (AU) Gundam show with a post-apocalyptic setting.  This AU is unique in that is essentially a “What if” story set in the Universal Century with all the technology and terminology mirroring the Universal Century.  In this What if scenario it looks at what would happen to the Earth and the colonies had our Amuro-esque hero fail to stop the colony drop operation and Earth was turned into a wasteland.  Our protagonists are Vultures who scavenge the wasteland while dealing with rival Vultures in a Mad Max style conflict.
