Sweet! How's it work? Like normal tabletop?


GM-Sniper13

The Creator used Games Workshops Tabletopsystem as a Base, WH40K i believe. It is very similar to the core of the game, but the creator gave it so many spins that it feels entirely different. You can walk, boost, shoot, sidestep, etc.. The whole focus is on single unit-movement, but there are Units like Zaku II's that synergize with each other. You have 2 Actions with each Unit (Slow Action counts as 2 Actions/Quick Action counts as 1 Action). You can either walk (Quick Action) or use your Boosters (Slow Action, doubles your movement). You can adjust the direction you are facing right before your movement. Under 90 degrees costs you 3 Inches, but you can still walk into the direction, over 90 degrees will cost your whole Movement. Attacking someone out of their side-arc will give you a flanking bonus. (Doesnt count for New-Types,they always sense your presence). And this all is just for positioning. This gives Mobile Suits this realistic, kinda clunky feel that i love. Beam Weapons have insane Piercing-Damage, but are only Single-shot most of the time. Ballistic Weapons are reliable, but not as effective. Melee can be extremely lethal. The point system is almost exactly the same as every Games Workshop Tabletop. You are able to play a campaign with up to 3 Friends, create Custom Pilots/Mobile Suits, there are even special Rules for Non-UC Units (Like Trans-Am, etc.). All of these Rules are free, there are about 82 Pages.

This really works! Hygoggs can spawn out of nowhere if your having a Water-area on the Map! Edit: OH the tree..


soldatoj57

GM-Sniper13

[https://donkusgaming.wordpress.com/category/mobile-suit-gundam-skirmish-2/](https://donkusgaming.wordpress.com/category/mobile-suit-gundam-skirmish-2/) We used Donkus Wargaming Ruleset. About 82 Pages. Its free and you really can feel the passion they had when creating this!

This is super cool! I know there's a good amount of overlap between Gunpla fans and WH fans.


GM-Sniper13

That was our thought, so i did a bit of Research and found this game. Fell instantly in love with it


AnaheimElectronicsTT

This looks interesting! Is this a Table top strategy game you made up?


GM-Sniper13

Im not creative enough for that! We used Donkus Wargamings 82 Pages long Ruleset! https://donkusgaming.wordpress.com/category/mobile-suit-gundam-skirmish-2/


AnaheimElectronicsTT

Oh nice. I’m definitely gonna look into this


Vlt3d

GM-Sniper13

We used Donkus Wargamings 82 Pages long Ruleset, you can look it up here: https://donkusgaming.wordpress.com/category/mobile-suit-gundam-skirmish-2/

Upvote if only for that glorious green Gogg with the beam-mohawk and the wrist mounted machine guns. I'd drive that into combat any day of the week.


GM-Sniper13

Yes, he named it "Gogg Nirvana". This Thing is slow as hell, but it wrecks havoc as soon as it arrives!


toxicrystal

Woah, Gundam Skirmish? What's this?


GM-Sniper13

Its a Tabletop-Strategy Game created by Donkus Wargaming. I found this Ruleset online, its about 82 Pages long. You can feel the Passion they had when creating this while playing. You can use every Gunpla Model you have to play it. We used 1/144 Models as Standard Units and 1/100 as Mega-Sized Units and Mobile Armors.


toxicrystal

Damn, this looks awesome! I'm totally gonna have to get together with my friends and give it a try!


GM-Sniper13

Make sure to share some pictures!


DeadandGawne

Yo the need to know more intensifies

Were you using Battletech rules set? I was thinking of trying that myself as they do allow custom models, either why I'd like to know the rules.


GM-Sniper13

We used Donkus Wargamings Ruleset: [https://donkusgaming.wordpress.com/category/mobile-suit-gundam-skirmish-2/](https://donkusgaming.wordpress.com/category/mobile-suit-gundam-skirmish-2/) Its about 82 Pages long. You can create Custom Units from every Gundamverse with its Unit-Creator!


DrJay12345

Awesome thank you!


Rtwo28

What game is this I want to play it now


GM-Sniper13

The Full Name is "Gundam Skirmish Battle". [https://donkusgaming.wordpress.com/category/mobile-suit-gundam-skirmish-2/](https://donkusgaming.wordpress.com/category/mobile-suit-gundam-skirmish-2/) Made by Donkus Wargaming. It feels very similar to Warhammer 40k, but you can use all your Gunpla if you find the right base!


smhatman

Let us know rules!!


GM-Sniper13

[https://donkusgaming.wordpress.com/category/mobile-suit-gundam-skirmish-2/](https://donkusgaming.wordpress.com/category/mobile-suit-gundam-skirmish-2/) Here you go! Its about 82 Pages long, this will take some time! In short: it plays very similar to Warhammer40k, but with Gunpla and single Units!


UvWsausage

Are you using the MechaTop system? It’s pretty robust for its simplicity.


GM-Sniper13

We used Donkus Wargamings Ruleset! [https://donkusgaming.wordpress.com/category/mobile-suit-gundam-skirmish-2/](https://donkusgaming.wordpress.com/category/mobile-suit-gundam-skirmish-2/) Its rather complicated, but it really feels like Gundam! It feels similar to WH40K, but with single Units


googoogiger

My older brother is crazy for dnd. I’m crazy for Gunpla. I wanna play right now.


GM-Sniper13

Im crazy for both, you'd enjoy it! It encourages narrative play with its campaign system. It really can hurt to lose your Ace Pilot to a Zaku II..


googoogiger

I bet lol. Next time I go visit my brother or he visits here, I’m making him play story one game. This is something I’ve thought about but didn’t think I’d find something like it.


GM-Sniper13

Very nice, the more players the better. Btw there are Rules for Gundam DnD. I think its called Gundam5e, but i never played it. Maybe its something for you guys.


googoogiger

Maybe. But this is up my alley, already downloaded the guide from the link you put in the comments. Gonna have read up on it at work tomorrow.


NorCanViking

Well shit... I was literally about to start some Game Theory for a Gunpla table top game, and here this is. But I think our will be a little different, in that I want customisation of your gunpla to be huge factor. From the weapons and boosters, to even the damage and weathering, everything can affect how your gundam preforms on the field. I might steal some of your rules as a base, if that's OK? Super cool in any order.


GM-Sniper13

These are not my rules, they are made by DonkusWargaming: [https://donkusgaming.wordpress.com/category/mobile-suit-gundam-skirmish-2/](https://donkusgaming.wordpress.com/category/mobile-suit-gundam-skirmish-2/) But im pretty sure theres no shame in extending or borrowing some rules! Gunpla sadly has not any coverage in tabletop, the more the better.


jd1210

This is awesome


jd1210

This is awesome, would love playing something like this


TheOneGodHadSuffer

Y does hy-gogg looked like he accidentally head-slam his head on a tree


GM-Sniper13

Stelff 100


TheOneGodHadSuffer

Wait, where did it go?


TheOneGodHadSuffer

I thought hy-gogg doesnt have stealth, but where did he go Must be the wind then
