Characters (they usually don't change much) Alderamin has 2 main characters: Ikta and Yatori Youjo Senki bets on the badass fun of a vanguard strike force, quality combat scenes, satisfying strategy debates with generals using Tanya's knowledge of 20th century history and doctrine and also Tanya's unique character Alderamin concentrates on tactics with great, easy to follow explanations every problem has to be countered with a creative solution and it's really fun to watch all plans and numbers unfold on the screen

Tanya uses a magic powered computer/jewel and is basically a commander of self-flying mages (think Strike Witches) Ikta uses a magic powered bolt action rifle to great effect Both are also fighters (more so in Youjo Senki) She hates having to do that, even though she's excellent. Tanya loves order and rules, wants a peaceful existence in the capital but is "too good to let be" and gets thrown into the frontmost fights. Ikta takes the shortest and easiest way possible to victory, works hard to end duties as quickly as possible and have a nap.

Tanya was a ruthless salaryman and now is a sociopathic, mad, ruthless yet sometimes cute gifted fighter/air commander, has historical hindsight from her original future and is able to guess national objectives in advance in Alderamin Ikta is above all a gifted young strategist and somewhat clever/cunning like JoJo's Joseph, Main character is a talented officer (more so in Alderamin) The worlds are somewhat similar, in short: Alderamin is a fictional 19th century beginnings of rifled guns world, Youjo Senki is WW1 europe with a twist.
