1988/War Titles

Titles of this category should cover the events of a war as significant element of the storyline (even if the actual conflict doesn't get that much airtime). The opponents should be nations at least (alien races, star systems, parallel universes etc. are fine as well); conflicts between smaller organisations would rather be categorized as "fighting".
An example for a real-world war would be Hotaru no Haka, a fantasy war would be Lodoss Tou Senki (OAV), a SF war would be Saishu Heiki Kanojo.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes		This long running space-opera tells the story of a conflict between the (Prussia-like) Galactic Empire which is set on conquering and unifying all of known space, and its war with the Free Planets Alliance. While mainly focusing on the two opposing militaries' leaders - Reinhard Von Lohengram (of the Empire) and Yang Wen-Li (of the Alliance) – the story describes all levels of the war; from the tactical to the strategic; from street fighting to spaceship conflicts.
