Well, rats. I played Giren's Greed again last night, capturing Odessa,
New York and California and beginning the attack on Kilimanjaro, but the
only cut-scene I saw was the conquest-of-Odessa one with Ma Kube. To make
matters worse, it refuses to save games - says there's not enough memory
- so I'm limited to what I can accomplish in one sitting. I think I'll
give up and look for a sneaky way to get at those cut-scene movies...

Ah, I see. That would explain those sneak attacks from Luna Two.

Great tips! Thanks, WooJin!

Though they do give you extra resources, useful for the cash-strapped
Zeons. I've been sending out little "expeditionary Zaku" parties to
capture unattended bases...

Great for capturing coastal bases, though. But do the Zeons have any
anti-submarine bombers? I don't think the Dodai GA can attack submarines...

I can tell which side _you've_ been playing. <grin>
>8-Stay on the supply lines of at all possible, you'll conserve fuel and ammo
How right you are!

Yep, that's one of the three secret factions - Char's Neo Zeon, which
throws in some characters and mecha from the novels, including Char's
beam bazooka-toting Rick Dom. Later on, you can build Char his own
Gundam, too!

Yep, that's pretty cute. :-)
