The whole election thing has gone totally out of proportion. I'd rather not
discuss it. I would, however, point to the fact that if you couldn't stand me
agreeing with a point that you brought up, then there really is no point in
discussing.

Since the so-called physics seen in ZZ apply to Z as well.

Don't forget Mr. Potential here, he'll be very sad to learn that you completely
overlooked him.

Kou had enough time to set a new course for the colony after Nina escorted Gato
out of harm's way.

GP-03D has less flexiblity in swinging the beam saber, compared to the upright
Neue Ziel. As seen from the bazooka scene, they aren't that effective to a
speedy Neue Ziel. What I meant by GP-03D fighting on a 2-D plane is that it is
highly orientated to attack face-on, and not up, down, right, left, front, and
back like a humanoid unit. Of course all units fighting in space can move 3-D,
but not everyone of them are so ready in flipping, turning, and moving to fire
at any direction. GP-03D clearly has no countermeasures against enemies at the
direct back or direct top.

I am sure it would be a romantic place to be.

According to Newtype 100%'s Gundam 0083 Operation Program, 3 GM customs have
been confirmed to be moved into Albion at 12:40 on Oct 14th, U.C.0083, less than
two hours after Captain Synapse received orders from General Cowen to retrieve
Gundam Unit 2.

Unfortunately, Scirocco effectively put him out of service in the conclusion of
their duel. And Camille never resumed his activity after the first Neo-Zeon
conflict.

I suppose most of the veterans left Axis after being picked up by the Advance
Fleet in 0083?

Guerrilla warfare involves no ambushing!?

Not if both sides have only machine guns or bazookas, which are horrible in
respectively power and accuracy. In many group firing scenes in space from the
Z series, no MS has to dodge or block beam shots coming from the enemy -- how
real is that?

Yet coverfire is totally out of the question for both GP-01FB and GP-02A before
and during their duel.

I have stated previously that I do not intend on defending Uraki for not doing
so. However, no pilot is exactly exposing their backs for the enemy to shoot
while breaking away -- units are equipped with monitors on their backsides, such
that pilots are not blind to their backside while piloting, unlike the case for
humans, whose eyesight is limited to the front only.
