       lancer: battlegroup, the game that dares to ask the question "what if a space navy game that wasn't uncomfortably fascist"welcome to the partially automated space socialist future. a cold war is going hot. UNION naval assets are tasked with stopping it from going too hot while assets are redirected from other theaters. CENTCOMM is confident this can be wrapped up in 50 years, with only maybe a billion casualties. your mission is to prove that estimate pessimistic. also, not to be one of them.

       guns that can puncture the crusts of planets exchange fire across the void, mechs wearing giant jet boosters scream across the expanse to board rival flagships before they have the chance to line up a shot that will kill everyone on the ship they launched from,  fleets merge intelligences into godlike legionminds that fight on extremely unsettling planes of reality, and on top of that some dickheads are just chucking rocks at relativistic speeds because they can't afford real gunsbehold space

       the central conflict is amazingly well done because union is in the role of Awkwardly Okay With This peacekeeper; the two belligerents are two of the conservative elements of the greater union coalition who union decided to incorporate rather than destroy on grounds destroying them would do prohibitive damage to themselves as well as innocents.big picture? if they blow one another up in the Dawnline Shore, pure upside for Union.Little picture, with no interference, trillions will die.

       Union is interfering. This was never a question. The question is how to do so best.

       A naval strategy game that makes you think about how to do socialist gunboat diplomacy is an extremely smart naval strategy game.
