The latest in the series is ''Shin Gihren no Yabou'' (aka New Gihren's Greed). Essentially a remake of the original game, it was released on the PSP in 2011, including among others updated attack scenes, a new anime opening and characters from ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Gundam Unicorn]].'' It differed from earlier series in two significant ways: 1) units are now individuals instead of being produced in teams of three or five, which additionally could be grouped into stacks of 5 units as opposed to three in the past (so now a player could have a group made up of 2 GMs and 3 Balls instead of a group made up of 2 squads of 3 GMs each and 1 squad of 3 Balls), and 2) the player plays as certain characters (besides Gihren and Revil, Amuro, Char, Ranba Ral and Dozle are selectable). Rank affects what units and resources are available to the player (for example, Amuro is a mere sergeant and can only command a small squad, and even at his highest possible rank may only command a single ship or two while someone like Dozle or Tianamen, both much higher ranked, can command entire fleets).

* BoringButPractical: Most mass-production, or even limited mass-production MS fall under this.

Bright, for example, can reach his Char's Counterattack rank of Colonel, while Amuro can only reach Captain.

* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: Averted.

Want to send Amuro, Sayla, Kai and Hayato into battle in a squad of Gundam Alexes? Go right ahead! Even machines that are specifically one-of-a-kind like the Blue Destiny can be mass-produced.

* CripplingOverspecialisation: A major problem with most of Zeon's One Year War units. The Zaku II C-type (which they start out with) can be refined into the Zaku II F or the Zaku II J. The F-type works best in space, but can barely function on Earth. Meanwhile, the J-type is specialised for ground combat, but cannot be deployed in space. You have to spend resources and money to modify them if you want to, say, bring your J-types to join a battle in space.

The GM isn't as powerful as the Dom or the Gelgoog, but they're much cheaper and can fight in any terrain except the water.

* NoExportForYou: Through, to be fair given the fact that Gundam is not popular enough in the West, along with the fact that it would take a LONG time to translate all the menus and units and find voice actors to voice the battle conversations, this is kinda of justified.

Considering that this happens almost towards the final turn, it is very hard to be able to move on to part 2 if this happens.
