''[[http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/669/Power+Dolls.html Power Dolls]]'' or (''Power Dolls: [[FunWithAcronyms Detachment of Limited Line Service]]'') is a series of turn based tactical {{VideoGame}}s, developed by Kogado Studio's Usagi San team.

Tropes found in the games and {{OVA}}s include:

* WorldOfBadass: Beyond troops directly under your command, allied forces temporarily assigned to you tend to do a good job supporting you in the background (allied air superiority fighters, for example, are generally capable of keeping enemy fixed-wing air supports at bay for the entire duration of a mission). Enemy mooks, despite often being armed with inferior weapons since ''2'', are directed by a decent AI that would try to use their numbers to spread your firepower thin. And god helps you if you let them call in artillery strike or if you leave an enemy helicopter still flying at the end of a turn......

Released in 1996 in Japan and 2003 in North America. Detailing the actions of the 177th Squadron in their quest to defend Omni against the seemingly endless Earth forces invading the planet.

The plot of the game begins in the year 2535, when planet Omni, originally a colony of Earth, fights for its independence after a catalytic land dispute. The all-female elite force of Omni helps defend their homeworld against the overwhelming Earth-borne expeditionary force, using a variety of mecha-based weapons. After defeating the Earth forces in the first game, Omni would continue to experience rebellions (supported by Earth forces troops stranded on Omni after the planet's war of independence), succession of continents, and all the open warfares these events would entail.

* [[ItsRainingMen It's Raining... Uh, Girls]]: Your troops/Power-Loaders are mostly transported to mission areas by aircraft or, on rare occasions, catapulted from a ballistic missile submarine. See also in the [[http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/power-dolls-1-promo-trailer/311176 trailer]]. In addition to the possibility of those Power Loaders sometimes ending up with their automotive system damaged by impact upon landing, in the first two games they must leave the battlefield on foot, requiring the mechas to self-destruct after their pilots are extracted by helicopters or by boat during missions where retreating via any land route is impossible. ''Power Dolls 2 Dash'' introduces a large helicopter capable of deploying and recovering the [=PLDs=] though.
