Let's see - [[Frickin' Laser Beams|lasers]], [[Energy Weapon|plasma cannons]], [[Tractor Beam|graviton pulsars]], [[Magnetic Weapons|macrocannon]], [[Death Ray|fusion beamers]], [[Macross Missile Massacre|guided missile launchers]]...and that's just the ''standard batteries'' ("only" sufficient to level continents). The Lances are more like [[Wave Motion Gun|Wave Motion Guns]], and the Nova Cannons...[[Earthshattering Kaboom|forget about the Nova Cannons]]. |

* [[2-D Space]]: [[Justified Trope|Justified]], or at least [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality|necessary]]; it's pretty damn hard to play a tabletop wargame in three dimensions. On top of this, the rulebook explains that the ships actually occupy an infinitesimally small dot at the exact center of their base stands and allows them to move 'through' each other to represent the fact that they are at differing 'altitudes' |
