* TieredBySize: Gears are separated by weight. Light Gears are usually called Scout Gears due to their small size suiting recon, spy, and sabotage duties. Medium Gears are sometimes called Battle Gears due to their nature as TheWorkhorse suitable for most combat-related duties such as patrolling, guarding, and skirmishing. Heavy Gears are simply named as such due to their immense size and weight compared to their smaller counterparts.

* WhiteAndGreyMorality: There are no outright evil factions in the galaxy, and just about every faction is portrayed as trying to do right by their people. Even the nominally evil invaders of the CEF have been driven to their campaign of colonial reconquest out of sheer necessity to prevent the deaths of billions back on Earth. No one is absolutely "the good guys", and story material is often balanced between works sympathetic and hostile to any given group.

* TransformingMecha: There are a few Gear designs which are able to shift between a combat ready walker mode and a high mobility vehicle mode. [=NuCoal's=] Hussar is unique for being a [[HumongousMecha Strider]] that possesses this capability, and as such is a monstrously complicated machine even among the New Coalition's rather advanced arsenal. There is, however, no mechanical effect on the tabletop apart from making it a lot easier to distinguish between models of the same type.

** On the tabletop, almost every single Gear features at least two explosive weapons of some description. Even the most basic Gears: Hunters, Jaegers, Warriors and Chasseurs, all feature a Rocket Pack and Anti-Infantry Grenade Launcher as standard.

* TheBrute: A special rule for [=NuCoal's=] Khayr Ad-Din faction is named this, and it allows one of their Duelists to pilot a Strider. Whether they qualify as this or TheBigGuy depends upon if you're in front of their guns or behind them.
Added DiffLines:
* CannonFodder: Any model with the Conscript trait is implicitly intended to be used as padding for more valuable units, since they cannot be selected as a Commander nor given the Veteran upgrade, and any unit that doesn't come with it as standard actually has its Threat Value cost dropped by 1 if "upgraded" with the trait.
Added DiffLines:
* CombatByChampion: What the position of Duelist was originally created to fulfill in the early days of Gear combat. Since Gears were quite rare, often a single vehicle in a combat detachment, armies would often simply have their Gears engage each other and whichever Gear lost, their forces would retreat. As Gears proliferated, Duelists began to be nominated from among the best pilots in a given force, with similar duels continuing to take place to preserve lives and materiel. Nowadays, the desperate open warfare of the CEF invasions means such duels have become much rarer, but Duelist is still a title bestowed upon the best pilots in an army, and it takes a truly fearsome combatant to earn such a privilege.
Added DiffLines:
* EliteArmy: The primary gimmick of the CEF, as they have no truly cheap or expendable options in their lists and so must rely on sheer quality to make up for their limited quantity on the field.

** Practically the NationalWeapon of the CEF. Expect to find a Laser Cannon, Rotary Laser or Particle Cannon as the primary armament on just about anything sporting their insignia.
