Honestly, I just pitied him rather than hated him, if only because he reminds me so much of my younger brother.

- AEUG 4th Squadron Vicinity - - Team 1 - “Michiko, above you!” Celeste Angelina sprang into action as she caught up to the rest of her team. She hit the thrusters on her Rick Dias to lunge toward Michiko and fend off the incoming M-156. She fired off a shot from the beam pistol in her mobile suit’...

And to be fair, mass-murdering entire colonies with gas was unprecedented before those opening days of the war. I wouldn't be surprised if most people hadn't even imagined doing such a thing as a war measure. It's the kind of thing that would only seem obvious in hindsight.

- AEUG 4th Squadron Vicinity - - Refit Transport Ship Zarm - - Bridge - “What the hell !?” It wasn’t clear who’d blurted that out when Echo’s Iota Team opened fire on the Zarm . All three shots raked just by the dorsal hull, leaving long scorches but not piercing the armor. “Titans? All the way out...

- Titans Taskforce Echo Vicinity - - Alexandria -class Kirov - - Combat Bridge - Trent had risen from his command chair and was surveying through field glasses as mobile suit forces from three sides ground inevitably into each other. Distant streaks, blooms, and flares from the broader battle lit u...

- AEUG 4th Squadron Vicinity - - New Yark Team - The red bolt hurtled in from seemingly out of nowhere as New Yark Team advanced to support the Dias teams. Of course Leandro’s attack was from too far away to target any individual units within the team, but they nonetheless juked in various directio...

OOC: There’s some ambiguity about which Gazas, exactly, Paris and Wales are shooting at… so I’m going to assume they’re shooting at the losers from the Kwire :D IC: - AEUG 4th Squadron Vicinity - - Zarm Team - The four Gazas split into pairs, weaving in opposite directions as one of the Nemos return...

Oh wow, so they really were, at least initially, a stopgap measure then? Did any previous publications suggest that or is MSV-R the first one to explicitly state it?

I do know that converting a work pod into a mobile pod was definitely a stopgap measure against the Zakus... This is a fairly common misconception for some reason. The Ball was always meant as a complement to the GM, not as some stopgap to buy time for their production. That's why, as per Red's ana...

- AEUG 4th Squadron Vicinity - - Alpha Team - The AEUG suits continued advancing, but for the most part were content to let the Titans do the shooting. That is, except, for a Rick Dias that let loose with a wild salvo from its backpack beam cannons. The shots screamed in just as Stukov’s wingmen br...

If you're specifically talking about Haman in her Qubeley and excluding various Purus and clones in other Qubeleys, then the last 2-3 episodes are the only ones where you get Haman out there in that.

It's extremely rare for any Gundam story or production to mention anything more specific than a date. Almost none of them get as particular as time of day. Most of the time, especially when it comes to obscure side stories like these, you're not getting anything more than "sometime in [month]&q...

Guys, we already have a current thread that's derailed into a discussion of the merits and crimes of Zeon. Let's not have two simultaneous retreads of this ancient topic, especially since this thread was going so well with the intended subject matter.

We've seen states like Switzerland function just fine without a military... Switzerland has, and has always had, a military. A very active one, too. When I lived there, in a picturesque European countryside, it wasn't unusual to hear the rattle of rifles and heavy vehicle driving around off in the ...

Agreed. I'm also interested in seeing a players-vs-GM game, just wondering if that was Arbiter's vision for that particular RPG. It's hard for me to keep up with just TftF alone, though, so I'm not sure I'll be able to participate in a second RPG in the near future.

Arbiter, do you think the 106th fleet idea would work out as player-vs-player or players-vs-GM?

The vulcan-firing happens in the first episode. He hijacks the Gundam and sprays a few bursts at the Titans officer, who was a jerk but still unarmed. It's been a few years since I've seen Zeta, though, so I don't remember when Kamille gut-punched a lady.

I figured the view of the Japanese fandom is more sensible, since it's a recognition that we're dealing with fiction, after all. Note that Western fans often ask continuity questions with wording such as "what really/truly happened?", like Gundam is a series of historical documentaries ref...

One can always compile their own preferred set of canon works, as long as they don't contradict each other. That's what I do, actually, and it's what I'd always presumed was the obvious main strength of having no rigidly established continuity. Everyone can pick and choose whichever productions and...
