Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWax from a blue candle was used to represent the dilithium pieces.
- GoofsRiker and his team transport directly aboard the Hathaway, which is supposedly without power. There could be breathable air, but a ship abandoned without life support would be too cold for them to board without freezing. Remote access can certainly take place and obviously there is power or there would have been no lights when they beamed over. Obviously they would have activated life support ahead of time.
- Quotes
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Enterprise plays war-game style simulations to improve the battle readiness of the crew.
This is an enjoyable episode with some strong character moments for a number of the regular crew.
The plot is a very simple and effective premise that sets a up a practice showdown between various members of the Enterprise crew who are on board different ships. There is a good build up to the battle situation, a fun sub-plot and a conclusion that works well.
Most of the regular characters contribute with cool moments, my favourite probably being Wesley, Worf and eventually Data. Riker's prowess in battle is bragged up to the point of ridiculousness by certain segments dialogue in the script and the guest character serves as a point of ridicule but little else.
I enjoyed the visuals such as the Stratagema scenes and Ferenghi make up.
It's a 7.5/10 for me but I round upwards.
