Battlefleet Gothic: Armada (BFG:A) battles are real time, with a slowdown mechanic to think things out, but action is still happening. Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock (BSG:D) is turn-based, with both sides going at the same time after plotting out movements, instead of 1-2-1-2 etc.

BFG:A is 2D gameplay wise for ship movements, while BSG:D is 2.5D, where "Up" and "Down" are there, but not to the extent of a full "3D" space-sim e.g. SW Battlefront II's space battles.
Both are games where you can sit down and play a few matches in your free time, or pause and save mid-battle if needed, and being strategy games, they're what I'd call 'casual strategy' due to the 'sit-down and play' nature I previously mentioned.

These are just a few details to help suggest a game. I due recommend both.

JZ's comment above pretty much sums it up from a gameplay perspective - although despite the tun based 2.5D of BSG it still felt very similar to BGA.

The other big point of difference is the setting - BSG is more classic sci-fi, while the WH40k universe has a very different feel. If you don't know much about WH40k you should read a bit about it before you commit - it isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Also, what's great about the Armada campaign is that it's OK, but not desireable, if you lose a campaign mission, as there is still a chance you can win the overall war. In Deadlock the campaign is more linear, so you have to complete each mission to continue.

Perhaps not a big deal but I think Armada's campaign is more intense and immersive with that feature.

I don't think you can do this with BG:A

[Jamian_Zephyr]

Yes, you can. I've done it before.

Both are excellent pick the one you think sounds more amazing. Battlefleet Gothic Armada will not get any more content... its essentially feature complete. It will however get a sequel this or early next year. So if you like the base game theres a much bigger sequel coming out soon. One is a feature complete game a sequel coming out the other one this game will or could get some expansions yet. I think both are great pick the universe and game that you feel speaks to your interests more. I will buy this game soon aswell I have only played it at a friends place but the little time I had was really good and impressed me. But in terms of campaign and somewat mp you cant go wrong with Gothic Armada.

i have both but i would say this, the combat is better and it has a story.

[Deathsnake]

Both ;)
And soon there is Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2.
Hope we see also more of Battlestar Galactica.

Personally, I'd buy BSG:D.
After all, Battlefleet Gothic's set for a sequel soon.

[Unicron Supreme]

At this point i've bought them both.

If I had to choose 1 ... then BSG. All the fights are fun and your decisions really matter as to the result.
