Introduction6obotech 6P Tactics is a lon- a9aited !iniatures -a!e for the 6obotech

uni(erse. The -a!e 9as successfully funded fro! a as of the ti!e of this 9ritin-> the -a!e is still no9here to be seen. So!e

sni ets of -a!e lay and rules ha(e been released> but I felt these 9ereinade*uate to !odel the 6obotech uni(erse so !any of us still lo(e after so lon-.

This is !y (ersion> 9hich 9ill be !ore realis! biased and less 6P . I used nosources for thin-s like 9ea on ran-es or da!a-es> instead creatin- !y o9n basedon !y o9n ex eriences and the a earance and role of the units. So!e ideas ha(ebeen taken fro! so!e other -a!es I o9n> and so!e e(en ri ed fro! the 6P

Tactics -a!e> but this (ersion of the rules are !y o9n> and stand alone.

Pieces and Tokens There are nu!erous ite!s that are used in the -a!e to track thin-s.

Co!!and tokens. These ha(e the faction lo-o on the!. They are laced9hen a leader does a co!!and action> and re!o(ed as the leader -i(es outorders and s ecial actions throu-h the turn.#ction tokens. These are u side?do9n co!!and tokens> and are used tosho9 actions used by a unit outside of their nor!al acti(ation. These arere!o(ed 9hen a unit starts its acti(ation> as it -i(es u that a!ount ofactions.Burst te! lates. These are used by (arious area e@ect 9ea ons. Missile Counter & Tar-ets. There are !any little airs of nu!bers. $hen a!issile or (olley is 8red> this nu!ber is laced on the !issile counter> thetar-et> and annotated on the !issile trackin- sheet.A #ST Markers These are s!all counters laced near a unit 9hen it has!o(ed at an extraordinary a!ount of s eed> !akin- it harder to hit. Theyare re!o(ed at the start of acti(ation> and for each !arker on a unit it is a ?/to the attacker s die rolls to hit.

Scale & Mechanics The -a!e scale and ti!e durations 9ere done to allo9 units to still ha(e so!e

!o(e!ent> but not necessarily be able to 8re across the board. #lso taken intoaccount 9as the turn len-th> 9hich if too lon- 9ould Eustify far too !any actionstakin- lace in a sin-le turn> and if too short 9ould re(ent the -a!e fro!ad(ancin- at an acce table rate.

Unit Descri tions There are a fe9 distinct ty es of units in the -a!e. So!eti!es the lines !ay

be blurred bet9een Mecha and Gehicles 9hen it co!es to !aneu(erin- and 8rin-arcs> but in retty !uch e(ery case Mecha 9ill si! ly ha(e le-s. Infantry are a coreunit in any -a!e> and as a for!er infantry!an I felt the need to include the! here

as 9ell. 0o9e(er> 8re o9er 9ise e(en the a9eso!e Cyclone si! ly doesn t ha(ethe 8re o9er of a sin-le battle od or destroid. or this reason infantry ty e unitsare s!aller and -rou ed into s*uads for co!bat. They are also ty ically (erydurable a-ainst non?area e@ect 9ea onry co! ared to other units.

Mecha These re resent -iant 9alkers such as the Galkyrie or 6e-ult. Theyare hi-hly !aneu(erable and ca able of !o(in- throu-h nearly anythin-.

They also tend to ha(e (ery -ood 8rin- arcs and are usually ca able of !eleeco!bat.

Gehicles These are the units that !o(e around usin- tracks> 9heels> ho(er>or other si!ilar !obility ty es. This 9ould also include re-ular style aircraft.

These units ty ically ha(e oor 8rin- arcs> and are not ca able of !eleeco!bat.

Infantry These are the re-ular old -runts. They are ty ically slo9> but hi-hly(ersatile. In the !odern battle8eld their life s ans are !easured in seconds>but nothin- else can clear a buildin- 9ithout destroyin- it. They ha(e thebest 8rin- arcs and their !elee abilities are restricted to other infantry.

Ty ically these units are !ounted !ulti le !iniatures to a base as theyre resent a s*uad instead of indi(idual units. Infantry are also the only unitsca able of enterin- a buildin- 9ithout it cru!blin- do9n after9ards.
