Timeline & Basic Turn Structure ● “We always activate the unit whose Timeline marker is on the lowest numbered round. When a unit acts, it takes up a primary action (like dashing, attacking, rescuing, Energizing), and each action costs Timeline. ● After the unit finishes, we move its marker forward by the total Timeline spent. Then we activate the next unit whose marker is now on the lowest numbered round.” Advance (standard move) ● “An Advance is a basic move action. The unit may move up to three hexes. ● Terrain, elevation, and enemies can change how far you get, but for now just think: up to three hexes for this action.” Gaining Upgrades ● “When a unit ends a move on an Upgrade token, it picks that Upgrade up. Units can pickup Energy in the same way.” ● We put the token on the unit card and apply its bonus for the rest of the game, unless a rule

FAQs

What is the goal of this quick demo for Gundam Assemble?

It teaches the core rules concepts and is designed to generate excitement for playing the full game and encourage purchasing.

How does the standard timeline-based turn structure work?

Activate the unit with the lowest numbered Timeline marker. The unit performs a primary action that costs Timeline, then its marker advances by the total Timeline spent, and the next lowest marker unit is activated.

What happens when a unit is defeated?

When hit points reach 0, the unit is defeated and the opponent scores victory points equal to its value. The defeated unit’s Timeline marker incurs a 2 TL penalty, and on its next activation it must be redeployed from its Base before acting.
