Not sure what to work toward, maybe give the story behind each
event/decision, or include a section that consists of the event
selections to recreate the OYW for purists. Boy, does Zeon not make
out well if you do that. :)

Thanks to JL Lee for an excellent walkthrough on the Earth Federation
scenario and inspiring me to create one for the Zeon scenario.
Please read the other faqs posted by Kain, DuoMaxwell, and DGreen on
this amazing game at GamFaqs. Please note that many of the translated
names, units and pilots, have come from DGreen's SS faq to keep some
consistency. Also visit the web site www.boren.org/james/gundam.html,
there you can find a menu guide complete with scans of all the entries,
even explains all the items on the unit and pilot screens as well.
Giren's Greed is a game where the entire events of the One Year War,
and beyond to Zeta, are laid out for the player to toy with as they see
fit. Don't like the Federation taking a big hit with Operation
Stardust, stop it. Don't like Ranba Ral dying against the Gundam and
Whitebase, don't send him. The game allows the player to construct a
variety of what-if scenarios using different points in the storyline as
a starting place. Unfortunately, the game can follow the storyline
quite closely, which for Zeon spells a shortend game. I won't spoil
the story at this point in the guide; that comes later. This guide
will provide you with the branches of the plot and various side events
so that you'll be able to craft the story the way you want it to be.
Zeon will be led to victory the way it should have been. Zieg Zeon!

4. One Year War (OYW) walkthrough:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The biggest problem with trying to lay out the events of the Zeon
campaign is that many of them are based solely on how far you have
progressed in the war. The story doesn't get rolling until you have
conquered Kilimonjaro (Africa), or Hawaii (if you develope subs early)
so you might not see much story until you've gotten a pretty good grip
on Earth. There appear to be basically 5 parts to the main story,
progressing in the following order:
Char inflitration/Garma's death
|
Ranba Ral's Whitebase assault
|
Federation counterattack at Odessa
|
Mad Angler/Hunting Whitebase
|
Federation attack at Solomn/Solar Ray finale
(1) Must say YES to Dozul. He will simply ask you again.
(2) Char Anzable, Dolen, Denim, Gene, and Slender [In Mission]
(3) If YES Denim and Gene die, Gadem [In Mission]; if NO all but Char
return.
(4) Gadem dies.
(5) Char's mission status changes.
(6) Slender dies, Dolen returns from mission. Garma Zabi [In Mission].
(7) Funeral for Garma available, +20 morale.

NO Char returns.
(9) Garma Zabi [In Mission]
(10) Garma returns, as does Char.
(11) If YES Ranba Ral, Harmon Crowley, Klamp, Accoz, and Kozun Grahm
[In Mission]; if NO, no one is sent.
(12) Only available if Dom (RR) or Rick Dom researched.
(13) Ranba captures WB, a Guntank, and a Guncannon. All 5 are given a
full shield bar(rank promotion), and returned.
(14) Ranba's request for Doms is denied, free Dom placed at Side 3.
(15) Ranba and his all-stars die.
(16) If Garma alive, +20 morale operation is available, "Ranba
funeral".
(17) Only if Ranba successfully captured the WB.

Guncannon are present in the battle.
(19) (3S) die, told of impending attack on Odessa.
(20) If Yes, Ma Kube [In Mission]. On phase 4 of the Odessa sneak
attack 50% of the units in Odessa are destroyed by a nuclear missle.
Odessa sneak attacked during combat this turn. 3 GM's, 6 Fly Manthas, 3
Dep Rogs, 6 Type-61s, 3 Tin Cods, 1 Big Tray piloted by Revil.
(21) If YES Ma Kube "dismissed" from military, mission status changed;
if NO Ma Kube returns.
(22) Only available if Ranba Ral failed to capture the WB. If YES Char
and Flanagan Boon [In Mission]; if NO Belfast Attack plan available.
If Char had been dismissed by Dozul, he still remains unusable.
(23) If YES Char and Boon mission status unchanged; if NO Char and Boon
return, Belfast Attack plan available.
(24) Boon dies, Char mission status unchanged.
(25) Char still in mission, Belfast and Jabero Attack plans available.
(26) Must have constructed Solar Ray. If YES Solar Ray is fired killing
Degin Zabi and Gen. Revil, 30% losses to Federation fleet. Side 1 sneak
attacked from Solomn during combat. 1 Guncannon, 1 GM Scustom, 1 GM
L.armor, 3 GM, 3 Ball, 3 Salamis K, 2 Magellan K. If NO Solar Ray is
fired 50% losses to Federation fleet, Degin lives? Side 1 sneak
attacked from Solomn during combat. 1 Guncannon, 1 GM Scustom, 1 GM
L.armor, 2 GM, 3 Salamis K, 2 Magellan K. If Char still dismissed by
Dozul, i.e not sent with Mad Angler, he returns.
(27) If YES Kishiria is unusable for the rest of Part 1. If NO, at end
of turn Kishiria kills Giren, resulting in a GAME OVER. (Pick YES :)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

(t3) All ally relations lowered by about 1/4.
*Advanced MS development:
Zeon has two options for advanced MS designs, the Gian and the Gelgoog.
The Development project is granted once the prototype unit is
researched, but once one is started the other will disappear from the
project list, or not appear if the other prototype has not been
researched yet. Choose ahead of time which one you want, or it'll be
Gians for you.
Gian Development Project:
Available after research complete on Gian prototype.
Provides the following MS blueprints at tech 10:
MS-15S (AG) Anivel Gato Gian
MS-15S (CA) Char Anzable Gian
MS-15S (RR) Ranba Ral Gian
Provides this blueprint at tech 11:
MS-15A Gian
Gelgoog Development Project:
Available after research complete on Gelgoog prototype.
Provides the following MS blueprints at tech 10:
MS-14S (AG) Anivel Gato Gelgoog
MS-14S (CA) Char Anzable Gelgoog
MS-14S (RR) Ranba Ral Gelgoog
Provides this blueprint at tech 11:
MS-14A Gelgoog
*Operation Rubicon:
No idea how to get this one, heard is comes very last in the war, turn
70+ or so. This is the strike on Side 6 by the Cyclops Team to take
out the Gundam NT-1 Alex. Supposed to gain Bernie Wiseman from this
event.
*Belfast Attack Plan:
Becomes available at the conclusion of the Mad Angler events. This
includes ending the event early.
*Luna 2 Attack Plan:
Available after Belfast conquered. Placed in the side events section
since this did not happen in the series.
*Operation British 2:
Available after Luna 2 conquered. Drop Side 7 (it disappears from the
map), on to Jabero, 50% of the units there are destroyed. Think
resource output of Jabero also reduced by 50%. Also gain blueprints
for Zaku IIC.C (variant 3), armed with a nuclear bazooka weapon
package. Three free are placed at Side 3 with Anavel Gato piloting one
of them when operation started.
*Jabero Attack Plan:
Becomes available if you complete the Mad Angler events. Storywise
Char locates the underwater entrance to Jabero's port, so you can
attack due to knowing the location. Also, becomes available if you
conquer Luna 2, Operation British 2 will disappear if you invade Jabero
before starting it.
Well, I'm finally done with Part 2 of the game, and I'll say it still
has a few events to keep you from just wiping all the other factions
off of the map. I'll give this more as a list of items rather than a
flowchart as most of the events you simply activate without questions.
Note: This is for the Part 2 starting with Char's Neo Zeon and
Titans(J) in play. I don't yet know how to get the "Family Feud" Part
2 where Garma and Kishiria each form their own Zeon faction to fight
Giren.

(z6) NT-002, NT-003, NT-004 available for use.
Here-in resides a list of Zeon's military might, broken down by the
tech level required to gain the blueprints for it. This may not be
completely accurate, as I am assuming that each area of technology is
researched at the same rate, but a good rule of thumb for units is that
the level of general tech be the same as the MS or MA level for the
respective unit. Two things of note:
1. I will be trying to give the connections between units. For example
once you research the Gouf B.A, you get several new blueprints, like
the Gouf B.B (variant 2) without having to increase the tech level.
2. Pilot custom units are a good part of Zeon's military, if the pilot
is anybody, then they probably have at least one custom unit. Some,
well many, pilots get killed during the course of the OYW, so you won't
be able to get the blueprints for their unit if they are dead. As long
as the pilot is listed on the pilot list, whether they are on a story
mission, out fighting, or just sitting around you can get their custom
unit.
Small note, the number in (_) after ship name is the number of hit
points it has. Easier to identify them by hit points than name for
those who can read the Japanese very well.

These are the men and women that can make or break a battle for you.
Some of these people are nothing more than warm bodies (Denim, Gene,
Slender come to mind), but they usually add a little more punch to the
units they're piloting. I will try to cover how you get people that
you don't start with, there aren't many, but this will probably not be
fully complete. This is pretty much who you have to work for you in
the game, so I'll try to give you a little insight as to who are the
duds, and who are the studs.
NOTE: all names that are preceded by an * indicate characters that can
die a story death, which means you should be able to save that all as
well. Funny thing is, most of these same people defect to Char's Neo
Zeon at the start of Part 2, whether they died or not! Defections do
not occur until the faction enters play.
54. Giren Zabi: your leader, he dies, you lose. If you use him he's
awesome as a leader with his command radius, and his combat stats
aren't bad either.
55. Dozul Zabi: good leader, excellent melee combat skill. Use him in
MS units you make use of the melee attacks. Defects to Axis in Part 2.
56. Kishiria Zabi: good leader, decent ranged attack skill. Decent to
use in a capship for fire support.
*58. Garma Zabi: Decent leader and combat skills, use him in the
frontlines while you have him if you don't plan on saving him.
60. Conscon: decent leader, ok ranged attack, capship or transport
pilot all the way.
61. Tawning: same here, place in capship to make use of him.
62. Barom: another mediocre ship captain, put him to work in space.
63. Ma Kube: decent leader, good melee skill. Use him where you need an
extra pilot, MS aren't a bad idea when doing close combat.
64. Char Aznable: it's Char, of course he's excellent! Turn him lose
in a variety of MS, you won't be sorry, but your enemy will. Defects
to Char's Neo Zeon in Part 2, of course!
65. Lala Sun: NT gained through Flanagan Institute, decent leader,
excellent combat skills. Best used in space with NT MAs, but her skills
are good anywhere. Defects to Char's Neo Zeon in Part 2.
66. Sharia Bull: NT gained through Flanagan Institute, good leader,
excellent combat skills. Like Lala use where needed, he only helps.
Defects to Char's Neo Zeon in Part 2.
67. Dolen: only a decent leader, mediocre at best combat skills, put
him in a capship for something to do. Defects to Char's Neo Zeon in
Part 2.
*68. Denim: first victim of the Gundam, and none-to-soon. Pretty bad
stats, really a seat warmer for somebody better, but might as well use
him. Defects to Char's Neo Zeon in Part 2.
*69. Gene: another early victim of the Gundam, and not really a loss.
Defects to Char's Neo Zeon in Part 2.
*70. Slender: next to fall to the Gundam's rampage, good that he's the
one taking it for the team. Defects to Char's Neo Zeon in Part 2.
*71. Ranba Ral: this veteran is a good leader and very good pilot. Try
to save him from death at the hands of the Gundam. Defects to Char's
Neo Zeon in Part 2.
*72. Harmon Crowley: Ranba's wife and transport captain, decent leader,
ok combat skills. Defects to Char's Neo Zeon in Part 2.
*73. Klamp: member of Ranba's team, decent stats, useful if you can
keep him alive. Defects to Char's Neo Zeon in Part 2.
*74. Accoz: member of Ranba's team, again, decent stats, really need to
save them all from the Gundam. Defects to Char's Neo Zeon in Part 2.
*75. Kozun Grahm: last member of Ranba's team, decent leader, good
stats. Defects to Char's Neo Zeon in Part 2.
*76. Gaia: leader of the Black Trinaries. Good leader, good combat
skills. I'd recommend saving the 3S team from death by Gundam, they're
solid pilots. Defects in Part 2.
*77. Ortega: another 3S, good skills. Just keep the 3 of them together
units will die quickly. Defects in Part 2.
*78. Mashu: last of the 3S team. Good like the other 2, best to keep
them around. Defects in Part 2.
*79. Gadama: capship pilot, decent leader, ok combat skills. Not quite
a seat warmer, but of limited use if you have better.
*80. Flanagan Boone: assists Char in the Mad Angler events. Pretty
good leader, good combat stats, a good guy to keep around if you
choose.
81. Takuwan: decent pilot, you'll need him by the end of the war.
82. Demitri: another decent pilot, fills in for all those who died.
83. Shimus Al Babarov: Zeon hat lady, use her just to say you have a
pilot in the MS. Her skills are pretty bad, but better than nothing.
84. Akahana: decent pilot, not much to say.
85. Doan: decent pilot, good filler if you want a stack of three.
86. Ronmel: decent leader, pretty good combat stats. Make use of him.
*87. Steiner: leader of Cyclops Team, good leader, decent combat
skills.
88. Bernie Wiseman: get him in Operation Rubicon, don't know how yet.
*89. Mikhal Misha: member of Cyclops Team, decent all around skills.
90. Bittar: good leader, decent combat stats. Team him with Cima and
Ronmel from the beginning for good effect.
91. Augille Delaz: good leader, good ranged attack. Put him in
important capships or transports to keep him active.
92. Cima Garahau: very good pilot, high stats all around. Keep her
active and she'll serve you well.
93. Anavel Gato: the stealer of the GP-02A is a very good pilot, combat
skills are all good. Keep him in the frontlines to teach those Feds to
fear the Nightmare of Solomn.
95. Kelly Leyzner: decent pilot, ok leader. Middle of the pack, but
will make an impact on the units he pilots.
97. Johnny Raiden: the Red Lightning is confused with Char often. He's
not quite as good as Char, but very good pilot, decent leader.
98. Shin Matsunaga: another very good pilot, keep him bashing Feds to
make for a brighter spacenoid tomorrow.
*99. Ginias Saharin: mad scientist behind the Apsarus MA, decent
leader, mediocre combat skills, zero endurance. Put him to use in
secondary areas, not really fit for heavy combat or he'll take forever
to return after being defeated.
100. Aina Saharin: gained during the Apsarus project, pretty mediocre
in stats. Comes in later in the war, use where you can just because
you've lost so many good pilots.
*101. Norris Packard: steward for the Saharin family. Decent leader,
good pilot, makes it hard to lose him at the end of the Apsarus
project.
102. Nimbus Stazen: infiltrator of the EXAM project. Decent leader,
good pilot, with favor to melee combat.
103. Marion Welsh: NT that is used to construct the EXAM system, gain
her by not sending pilots for the EXAM system. Like most NT's she has
very good ranged attack and dodge skill, little lower melee. Put her
to good use. Defects to Char's Neo Zeon in Part 2.
*106. Garcia: member of Cyclops team, decent skills, noticeably useful.
108. Karius: ok leader, decent combat stats. Not that great but useful.
109. Billy Gladdle: decent all around stats, nothing note-worthy here.
110. Draiza: a capship captain, good leader, decent combat skills.
Nothing all that special.
111. Yuri Hasler: gained in Part 2 when Axis fleet arrives. Good
leader, decent ranged skill, use him while you have him.
132. Apollie: Char wingman, decent leader, decent combat skills.
Defects to AEUG in Part 2.
134. Roberto: Char's other wingman, decent leader, decent combat
skills. Also defects to AEUG in Part 2.
142. Haman Khan: gained in Part 2 when Axis fleet arrives. Very good
all around, give her a NT unit, the Qubeley preferred, and she's death.
143. Mashimar Zero: gained in Part 2 when Axis fleet arrives. Decent
leader, in general good stats, send him into the fray.
144. Kira Sun: gained in Part 2 when Axis fleet arrives. Like Mashimar
pretty much, definitely use her.
145. Gremi Toto: gained in Part 2 when Axis fleet arrives. Ok leader,
good combat stats, becomes an NT at S rank. More NT goodness put he in
a Qubeley and off he goes.
146. Lakan Dakaran: gained in Part 2 when Axis fleet arrives. Like
Mashimar and Kira, though a little weaker in melee, suit him up.
150. Visch Donahue: decent leader, good melee and dodge skills.
Deserves a place on the battlefield.
151. NT-001 (Leyla Raymond): gained in Part 2 when dealing with Proto
Zero once Titans(S) enter play. Good stats all around.
152. NT-002: nameless artificial NT that is gained in Part 2 if you
tell Proto Zero NTs are only weapons. Decent leader, good combat
skills. Place in those tasty Qubeleys that Haman Khan developed for
you.
153. NT-003: another nameless artificial NT. Pretty good for being
nameless.
154. NT-004: yet another nameless artificial NT. Similar to NT-003 but
of the opposite sex.
