I’m the core book, chapter 6 under “Union in 5016 U”. It describes UNION as “The Tyrant, The Watcher, The Guiding Hand”. As I explain to new players “Union is like the Federation in Star Trek, but they are barely holding it together. The last guys who ran Union - SecCom, they made a lot of enemies, and committed genocide, but they had teeth. Those guys now are Harrison Armoury. So now the its Union against all the people the old boss wronged, and the old boss who thinks they should be in charge again.” Union isn’t bad, but they are also not great either. They are just doing their best.
@@WinWithDice If it makes you feel any better I've been flavoring Assault NPCs as Zakus because of y'alls comments in the NPC template video and it's been great. Mechs is mechs. I'm here for mechs lol
I do often (but not always) use the house rule that grunts do half damage because sometimes it feels really oppressive to have that many guys doing full damage. Especially when theres more than like 4 grunts
@WinWithDice I was on board for this until you started on the Evangelion enthusiasm again xD. Shinji is a little bitch and nothing can convince me otherwise
I actually think we did have a similar conversation with NHP Shaka about Union XD A sign that I should probably run an actual campaign soon

Ramon, you'll be glad to know that as a gundam fan my favorite gundam pastime is making fun of gundam.
Lol I feel bad that we got side tracked on the NPC templates, but I guess I was in a mood that day 😅

Excellent video! You two are a Godsend. Have some engagement for your troubles 👍
6:38 I have also been rewatching gundam seed on Netflix. Lancer has made me dive back into mech stuff
Union is currently in their carrot rather than stick phase but it definitely still feels like coercion
Been waiting for this video! Nice!

That's a good idea! I am going to try that out next time I run Lancer.
Can you guys please make a video on the Cain combat?
For sure!
7:33 "Win With Anime" spin off series podcast. Y'all just talking about what you're watching lately
Good name Tim! We would have so many episodes dedicated to JoJo's
