I've been bored today so I thought I'd occupy myself with writing a Wikipedia style entry for each of the many battles of Legend of the Galactic Heroes, with screenshots. I did this first of all because I thought it'd be neat, since the show lends itself very well to this sort of trivial pursuit, and also I thought it might be a bonus if people who had never seen the show but might be into it if they knew what it was like and had a feel for the sort of thing that goes on in the major battle episodes. I thought it might also provoke some discussion from other LOGH fans so I might edit it as well.

This first one took me quite a while - its the first battle of the series, and whilst it was originally covered in the first two episodes of the show when it first aired, it was 'remade' in more detailed, movie form in 1993 as Overture to a New War. I've treated that version as 'canon', since the two do conflict on some points, although only one of them is major (and I don't go into it here, since it involves characters). That said, for anyone who plans to watch the show, you should start with My Conquest is a Sea of Stars, which was the pilot movie for the series (and covers the Fourth Battle of Tiamat), then Overture to a New War which picks up right where it left off.

Although it's out of order, I'll probably cover the Fourth Battle of Tiamat in the next entry. EDIT: obsolete entry, so replaced with link to SDN with up to date and much more image heavy entry.
