Units: Hattori, Standard Type

MECHA TECH LEVEL 2

The Hattori is a first generation mass produced Medium SRACU made by the humans race. They are humanoid like most of the other combat mecha made by the human race. They are the second most commonly found of all of the human mechas. They stand about twelve meters tall and can carry its own weapons, which allows the armerments to be easily interchangeable. Being a first generation mecha it does not have the power relays to support high powered weapons like beam based weapons. The Hattori standard type is currently the only medium size Mecha below Tech level three in the game.

MS Wars Update, 26th of March, Mekton Super Wars

Not a Mecha from from MS Wars or one I
designed.
Welcome to another MS Wars Update. As you might have noticed, I had changed the last two Units post due to the fact that I forgot that there were several more Infantry Units to post and most of the new stuff I were new to the database. So I had to cut them back down to one unit post a time instead of two. For now the rule are finished, will until I do more testing to find things to change or add new rule. I will be testing after the next five units are done. My original plan for the test was to do all units for the three key races (Human, Elf and Dwarf) in the three main tech groups (Mecha, Infantry and Ground Vehicle) up to tech level two. However, I decided to change that to all Human, Elf Infantry and Mecha and Dwarf Infantry. I plan on doing updates every four days instead of every five and then do the next update post when they are all done.

On other MS Wars news I am currently trying to decided to ever run for role-play a MS Wars game based during before the fall of the Mobius Empire or a Code Geass game based on Britannian troops in the EU. With both I have been talked into using Mekton Zeta rules. Code Geass is currently winning. However, I have never played Mekton before, so I am wanting to play a game of it be for running a game. Oh and I am somewhat dumping the race Gargoyles, in fact they are being merged with the Dragonits.

Well that is all I have for this update. Here is a rough time table of MS Wars posts until and including the next update post.

30th March: Units: Let unnamed human command jeep (should have been 31st)
4th April: Units: Human Bikers (should have been 5th)
