Also represented are important characters to the anime like Amuro Rey, Char Aznable etc. these characters can influence unit combat give modifiers etc.

Two maps represent the Earth and the near space, with important Earth and space regions.

Victory is done via Victory points, the one that has the highest victory points by the end of the game (month 12) or gets to a certain number of VPs before the end of the game wins sudden death. These VPs can be had by destruction of mech units, death of important characters and conquest of important points in the maps.

This game looks to be a simplified version of the TDF game One Year War and is for the Gundam purists who only want to focus on the 1979 to 1980 anime and nothing else.
