The Game of Giant Monster Combat
Mecha
Mecha is not just the name for giant robots. It is a term for any vehicle which appears in
sentai movies.The examples given here are intended to serve as guidelines only.
- BATTLECRUISER
The Cannon attack represents the big guns on the battlecruiser, whilst the Guns represent the
combined attacks of all the smaller weapons. If a target comes within range of both the
Cannon and the Guns, both may be used at a cost of 1 Action. The Battlecruiser only caries 2
torpedoes.
- FLYING SAUCER
The favourite craft of discerning extra-terrestrials everywhere. It is armed with a Heat Ray
which projects a beam affecting everything within 1cm of its path.
It is vulnerable to SONIC attacks.
- FRIGATE
This is a smaller, less powerful version of the Battlecruiser.
- HOVER TANK
This is the standard alien tank.
- JET FIGHTER
Each jet fighter is equipped with 1 bomb which affects everything within 5cm of the impact
point and 2 missiles. They are destroyed more often by monster hand to hand attacks than is
believed possible.
- TANK
This is the standard tank used by defence forces on Earth. Note that it does not have any
Damage Points.
- TOHO TANK
This is the best weapon in the defence forces' arsenal. They fire different beams (the Attack
Types must be chosen before beginning play) depending on the monster they are facing.
- TRIPOD
A strange mecha used by some aliens. It is very rarely seen these days, as it appears to have
been supplanted by the Hover Tank.
MONSTERS
This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of monsters. Instead, it is meant to show how
certain suitmation creatures would appear in this game.
- ANCIENT GOD
This creature was once worshipped by Primitive Man, but an ancient curse trapped it in its
temple beneath the ocean. Angered by this, anyone who wakens it must face its wrath.
- GIANT PREHISTORIC CATERPILLAR
A giant egg was discovered on a Pacific island where it was worshipped by the natives. An
entrepreneur brought it back to Japan for display. Unfortunately, the egg hatched and released
its contents on the world. The Giant Prehistoric Caterpillar can only be controlled by the song
of two tiny pixies (known as the Almond Twins).
It is vulnerable to CHEMICAL attacks.
The Web attack acts to immobilize its target. Each point of damage done reduces its target's
actions by 1.
- GIANT PREHISTORIC MOTH
This is the adult form of the Giant Prehistoric Caterpillar. While seemingly fragile, it has a
devastating attack. By flying over its target it generates a sonic boom. The AV of the attack
is equal to the speed of its flight and it affects everything within 5cm of its flight path.
The Giant Prehistoric Moth can only be controlled by the song of two tiny pixies (known as
the Almond Twins).
It is vulnerable to CHEMICAL attacks.
- GIANT RADIOACTIVE DINOSAUR
Atomic tests in the Antarctic woke this monster from its frozen slumber of 65 million years.
It was the first of the monsters to appear.
In combat it has often proven to be vulnerable to ELECTRICAL attacks.
- HYPERGUY
Hyperguy is one of the defenders of Humanity. Appearing out of nowhere, he has defeated
many monsters. Nobody knows who he is or where he got his amazing powers. They are just
grateful that he is there.
Hyperguy is vulnerable to CHEMICAL attacks.
- ROBOSAURUS
The Robosaurus was constructed by aliens in order to combat the Giant Prehistoric Dinosaur.
It can be controlled by a remote unit or by a plilot. The missiles are devastating. Each missile
burst affects everything within 5cm of the impact point. Fortunately the Robosaurus only
carries 4 bursts.
The Robosaurus is vulnerable to COLD attacks.
- THREE HEADED DRAGON
Summoned from Outer Space by aliens, this creature is the natural enemy of the Giant
Radioactive Dinosaur. It is seemingly unstoppable.
Soldiers and Civilians
These are intended to represent the types of troops found in monster movies. This list should
not be considered exhaustive, by any means.
- Alien Infantry
Little green men, intelligent alien cockroaches, Leather clad Witch Women from mars,
whatever. They are here and they want our [insert persons of appropriate gender]!
- THE ALMOND TWINS
The Almond twins are a pair of tiny pixies (about 6"in height). Their song may be used to
control any monster. The damage they do is the number of actions they may control. Their
song always has full effect on the Giant Prehistoric Caterpillar
and the Giant Prehistoric Moth. Their high DV is because
they are so tiny - they can always find somewhere to hide.
- CIVILIANS
These are the standard panic stricken city inhabitants whose sole purpose appears to be acting
as corn plasters for monsters.
- COMBAT ENGINEERS
Combat engineers are the elite close assault squads. Their flamethrowers give them an edge
against certain monsters, but not very often!
- HEAVY INFANTRY
This is a squad of infantry armed with a heavy weapon, such as a bazooka or anti tank gun.
- INFANTRY
This is the standard infantry squad as used by defence forces the world over.
- PRIMITIVE TRIBESMAN
Primitive tribesmen are normally found in deep jungle or on lost Pacific islands, worshipping
their Ancient Gods. They are not adverse to trading their spears for guns.
- TOHO INFANTRY
This is the infantry version of the Toho Tank. They fire different beam (The attack Types
must be chosen before play begins) depending on the monster they are facing.
