I love Char, he's a terrible person in so many ways. Please kick the poo poo out of him, and do it with the full White Base crew. Sayla needs to be in on the poo poo-kicking action. Earth Federation and Bright Noa.

Fourthing/fifthing this. ~~Serge Gainsbourg~~ Federation supremacy!

That's true, but their first encounter is just after Garma's funeral. White base sets off from across the Pacific, Ramba reenters Earth in the Zanzibar, and they fight the white base team for a bit.

In the anime, it's poorly placed, because you have the white base leaving Seattle to cross the Pacific, fighting the skirmish against ramba ral (and having the hilarious moment of no one knowing what lightning is), then they break off. Ramba continues to Asia, and the white base loops back to Canada, and has the episodes with Amuro's mother and the chill Zeon guys that plant bombs on the Gundam. Only then does the white base attempt a second crossing of the Pacific (encountering Cucuruz Doan along the way), and then to central Asia, where they fight several more times.

In the movies, it's a little more streamlined, as they don't have that first aborted crossing, and they encounter Ramba in the north Pacific on their first crossing attempt, after dealing with Amuro's mother.

Unless you're commenting about the fact that we're in East Asia right now, and not central Asia. Then you can ignore my info dump.

Don't forget the version from The Origin. They confront Garma in L.A. (also Amuro's home is near the US/Mexico border) then head south toward Jaburo, detouring around the west side of the Andes due to Zeon AA coverage; the attacks by Ramba Ral and the Black Tri-Stars occur along the way. Flows a lot better and makes more sense given that they were supposed to be headed for Jaburo in the first place anyhow.

I personally would try at some point to steal data for the Big Zam, build one, and put Sleggar in it just for the karma. From the sound of things though, the game doesn't allow that sort of shenanigans, which is a drat shame.
