Description
In the Trutsia-Gokudin war, was the first official use of Mechs by one of the fighting side...

But soon, the Mech users -and their enemies- noticed their weakness... or at least, the weakness of these first and second generation mechs:

Slow, underarmed, costly, without enough armor and tall, easy targets, it become clear these first mechs costed much more than the equivalent tanks... and were less useful.

Despise the orders of a proud government who negated their mistake in spending in such way the Empires money, the Gokudin army commanders stopped using the mechs as assault units, and unless there was absolute air supremacy -due the weakness of the mechs in AA protection- and there was no enemy armor present, they avoided to use them...

And so, they use became marginal, to operations to unprotected or slighty protected infantry forces, specially conscripts who loose their nerves in the sight of the giant machines, because even in these circunstances, these first and second generation mechs where more vulnerable than the tanks against anti-armor weapons...
