What is it about?
Brent P. Newhall’s Gunwave pairs a pilot with a giant robot. The author’s public rules overview is covered by the wiki’s explicit CC BY-SA 4.0 notice. Its paid Colony War Handbook and short rulebook are separate publications.

At the table
Roll d6 pools: each 5–6 deals damage in combat; outside combat, a 5–6 normally succeeds. Weapons and movement consume energy. Pilot abilities, mecha traits and once-per-battle or daily powers provide tactical choices.
