Back to the lessons

Every term taught in our interactive Gundam Assemble tutorial, in one place. Tutorial design by Kidultverse, based on official guidebook.

Board and turns

Hex: One space on the board. Movement and range are counted in hexes. Lesson 1
Reserve: Units waiting off the board. Every unit starts here, and a defeated unit comes back here. Lesson 1
Base: Your arrival hex. A unit deploys onto it from Reserve and must move off: no unit may end its activation on a Base. Lesson 1
Deploy: Bringing a unit from Reserve onto your Base at the start of its activation. Lesson 1
Activation: One unit’s turn: one optional Advance and one Primary Action, plus eligible Commands, cards and responses. Lesson 1
Timeline: The shared track that sets turn order. The unit on the lowest space acts next. Lesson 2
Round: One space of the Timeline. A Phase has 10 rounds. Lesson 2
TL: Timeline cost. Every action has one, and the unit's token moves that many spaces along the Timeline. Lesson 2
Phase: A game lasts 2 Phases of 10 rounds. A token that passes space 10 rolls into the next Phase, and Objectives score at the end of each Phase. Lesson 2
Shared space: When tokens share a space, a player's own units act top to bottom; between players, whoever did not act last goes first, then they alternate. Lesson 2

Actions

Advance: The optional move in an activation: up to 3 hexes, plus any Speed. Lesson 1
Primary Action: The one main action every activation needs: Attack, Dash, Energize or Rescue. Lesson 3
Attack: Using a weapon on an enemy. It costs the weapon's TL. Some Tactics cards are attacks too. Lesson 2
Dash: A Primary Action that moves up to 2 hexes for 2 TL. Speed does not add to it. Lesson 3
Energize: A Primary Action that stores 1 Energy for 2 TL. Lesson 1
Rescue: A Primary Action for 2 TL that frees an allied Garrison next to the unit and scores 2 VP. Lesson 3
Energy: Stored charge that a unit spends on abilities and some cards. Lesson 10

Moving

Speed: Extra hexes added to an Advance, for example from a Speed Upgrade. Lesson 3
Elevation: How high a hex is. Each level climbed costs 1 extra hex of movement; going down is free. Lesson 4
Jump: Starting a move on high ground lets a unit cross gaps and pass over lower enemies, paying only for climbing above where it started. Lesson 4
Engaged: Next to an enemy unit or Garrison at the same elevation. An Engaged unit moves 1 hex less and must attack an Engaged enemy. Lesson 8
Hover: A unit with Hover ignores terrain and elevation costs and can cross impassable terrain, but cannot stop on it. Lesson 9

Combat

Range: The distance to the target in hexes, ignoring elevation. Range 1 means next to it. Lesson 6
Line of sight: A clear line from the centre of the attacker's hex to the centre of the target's. Allies never block it. Lesson 5
Strength: How many dice an attack rolls. Lesson 6
Attack dice: Ten-sided dice (d10). Each one that shows 4 or more is a hit. Lesson 6
Accuracy: A bonus or penalty on every die: +1 attacking down, −1 attacking up, less in water, debris or Minovsky particles. A 1 always misses. Lesson 6
Critical hit: Natural 9–10 always hit and trigger the weapon’s critical effect once. Wing Zero’s Zero System also makes natural 7–8 critical. Lesson 6
Area of Effect: An attack that hits every enemy inside the weapon's pattern. Lesson 6
Shield: Each active Shield stops 1 damage, then is deactivated until that unit's next activation. Lesson 7
Damage and Hit Points (HP): Each hit that gets past Shields deals 1 damage, which removes 1 Hit Point. At 0 HP the unit is defeated. Lesson 7
Defeat: At 0 HP the opponent scores the unit's VP. It returns to Reserve and its token moves 2 spaces on (the Timeline Penalty). It deploys again later. Lesson 7
Push and Pull: Moving an enemy away from, or towards, the source one hex at a time. Lesson 8
Collision damage: A unit pushed into higher ground or another piece stops, and everything involved takes 2 damage. Lesson 8

Status effects

Slow: The next Advance moves 0 hexes, then Slow is removed. Dash or ending an activation does not clear Slow. Lesson 8
Disarm: On the unit's next attack, every hit is re-rolled and no critical effects trigger. Lesson 8
Fracture: The next attack that deals the unit 3 or more damage deals 3 more. Lesson 8

Terrain

Water: Starting a move in water costs 1 hex. Each unit in the attack that stands in water costs 1 Accuracy. Lesson 9
Debris field: Works like water: 1 hex to start a move in it, and 1 Accuracy for each unit in the attack standing in it. Lesson 9
Minovsky particles: A cloud that costs 2 Accuracy on any attack beyond range 1 when either unit is inside it. Lesson 9
Impassable terrain: Ground no unit may enter. Hover can cross it but cannot stop on it. Lesson 9

Cards

Tactics card: Your deck holds 9. You draw 3 at the start and 3 more after Phase 1, and may play 1 per activation. Each is an Attack, a Command or a Response. Lesson 10
Command: A card or ability you use during your own unit's activation. Lesson 12
Response: A card or ability you use the moment its trigger happens, even in your opponent's turn. Lesson 13
Upgrade: A Shield, Speed or Strength marker on the board. End a move on it to collect it for the rest of the game. Lesson 6
Response priority: The activating player chooses responses first, then the other player. Each ability may respond once to each trigger; passing preserves your resources. Lesson 13

Winning

Victory Points (VP): After the last Phase, the most VP wins; on a tie, whoever acted last wins. Lesson 11
Objective: A marker that scores VP at the end of each Phase for the side that controls it. Lesson 11
Contest and capture: A unit ending its activation on or next to an Objective contests it. More of your units than theirs captures a neutral Objective, or makes an enemy one neutral. Lesson 11
Garrison: A 1 HP post. Defeating an enemy Garrison or Rescuing your own scores 2 VP. It blocks movement and line of sight like an enemy unit. Lesson 3

This guide

Real cards, tutorial situations: Named units from ST01, EX01 and EX02 use verified card values. Tutorial design by Kidultverse, based on official guidebook. Lesson 1

Remote weapons

Remote Weapon System (RWS): An owner-directed 1 HP, 2 VP piece. It does not block sight, cause Engagement or contest Objectives. A unit may pass through its hex but cannot end there. Lesson 14
