just finally got round to playing this (after backing so long ago) and it's incredibly fun; three players (consul, engineer, outrider), one of them (engineer) obliterated during front 3, the other two making out mostly alive, but the consul ended up founding an aetheric religion in the wake of the disaster that befell Thera (after preparation built a full 5 Boon pool for the showdown)
we added some gundam twists, really played up the eerieness of kaiju foreshadowing, and had plenty of clutch rolls - thank you!
