There already are tons of gundam wargames but they're all hex and chit and from the 80s. They rule.

Tsukuda Hobby put them out and they are complicated as hell but supremely cool.

Yoshiyuki Takani did the art for a lot of the covers.









They all looked like this when you started playing, since Tsukuda Hobby based a lot of games around the same hex and chit style.



A lot of the games started off with way less units though, that one is a simulation of all the forces present at the end of the one year war, during the final battle of A Baoa Qu

Shouldn't the Zeta ground combat one near the end say Karaba instead of A.E.U.G? Since Karaba were their Earth based counterpart.

Neato! I'm surprised Fortress isn't named Solomon or A Baua Qu. Also I love how derpy Char's Zaku looks in Close Fight.

Thank you for this post!

Offhand I'd imagine these play similarly to the Ghiren's Greed series, though they probably aren't as complex since tabletop games of that era expect you to do the math yourself. Not that it stopped Star Fleet Battles or Advanced Squad Leader of the same epoch from being crazy.

It seems like a Unicorn thread wouldn't have much to say considering it's a 80% straight adaptation and it can't really be a good starting point for newcomers considering Unicorn is UC Minutia: The Series

If you read the general mecha thread or check the first page regularly you might already be aware of this, but there's gonna be a combined bakemonogatari/patlabor simulwatch starting next week here http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3770059.

If you enjoy Gundam but you're hankering for robots of a different flavor or want to generally expand your anime horizons I encourage you to check it out!

OP and ED were pretty as hell for Unicorn v2. It was pretty funny how they spoiled a good chunk of the deaths in it though. Oh well, at least they confirmed that my best friend Jesta Cannon will be in this one.

Eventually maybe? Right now it's literally the same thing as episode 1, but with the whole "Unicorn activation" bit at the beginning for some reason.

His whole deal is he threw away whoever he was to become a vessel for the will of the people so us not knowing anything about him is only appropriate.

There's a lot about Unicorn that's really corny but I really really appreciated them showing more of the civilian side of Zeon in Palau in episode 2, and Marida gave a pretty good explanation of what's so appealing about the legacy of Zeon to spacenoids. I also don't recall the whole issue of Spacenoid suffrage coming up before, but it's very fitting for the setting.

My understanding is that it aired and just nobody captured it for subs. Seems weird but that's what I was told.

I laughed my rear end off at RE:0096 having the Neo Zeong in the goddamn opening. This is supposed to serve to introduce the show to a new audience who aren't necessarily crazy OVA-buying Gundam fans, isn't it?

You see the same five or six names posting ALL the new stuff. I think there were only one or two doing Thunderbolt, and if they were both gone or had a power outage or something, it's plausible.
