Understanding Mechabellum

1. Core Premise

   • Setting: Near-future or alternate-future world where sovereign states, corporations, and mercenary factions deploy giant combat mechs ("Mechabellums") as primary military assets.
   • Tone: Gritty, techno-military; can be hard-SF (explaining tech) or pulpy/cinematic.
   • Scale: From single-pilot skirmishes to theater-level campaigns with combined arms.

   • Mustangs (Anti-Air/Swarms) are shredded by Arclights (Splash damage).
   • Arclights are demolished by Sledgehammers (High HP/Damage).
   • Sledgehammers are outranged and annihilated by Phoenixes (High damage snipers).
   • Phoenixes are eaten alive by Mustangs (High fire rate).

   You don’t micromanage units. You command armies. Each round, you place mechs, tanks, aircraft, and giant beasts on a grid, equip them with tech upgrades (rocket fists, shields, repair beams), and then watch the carnage unfold in real-time. No clicks. No abilities. Just pure, brutal simulation of your strategy versus your opponent’s. mechabellum
