BOT WAR
Bot War is a 10mm skirmish wargame played on a 3'x3' table. While the scale is 10mm, Bots and other creatures range from 20mm for the smallest Bot to 140mm for the huge combined Bots. The story takes place on an alternate Earth and revolves around two main protagonists: The Democracy, a reflection of 1980s USA, and Atlantica, an underwater kingdom inspired by Atlantis. There are 10 different factions and the game opens after a major, devastating war between The Democracy and Atlantica in which the arrival of Bots saved the Democracy from destruction and slavery. Welcome to Bot War!
DEMOCRACY
Despite the Democracy's three year alliance with the Valiants, they still distrust Bot technology. The Democracy forces are made up of highly trained specialists working as a tight-knit team. They excel in stealth tactics and guerrilla warfare. They rely on regular tanks, helicopters, and other traditional military equipment to do any heavy lifting that is required. The Democracy has perfected this method of war to the point that they can now hold their own against enemy bot forces.
ITEM DESCRIPTION
When the Democracy was on the brink of collapse, one man rose to lead the citizen militias against King Gills. Three years later, that man is a highly decorated hero of the Democracy. Max Star fights for the Democracy way of life. To return the Democracy back into the greatest nation on earth. A nation that stands for truth, freedom, and the Democracy way.
When King Gills was driven back into the depths, the people demanded Max Star be their new president. Max refused and instead vowed he would fight on, to rid the Democracy and the Earth of all threats to humanity. He now heads up a special task force that uses Bot technology to turn everyday Democracy vehicles into formidable fighting weapons that can go toe-to-toe with anything in King Gills' high-tech arsenal. Although it's true that the Democracy shuns the use of Bots, the nation still utilises elements of Bot technology. Equipped with Bot hover drives, Max Stars' Freedom Eagle fighter encompasses the best aspects of a fighter jet, a helicopter, and a vehicle. This makes Max Star in Freedom Eagle a real force to be reckoned with.
Max Star's first Lieutenant, Tyrone Getty, served with Max in the defence of the Democracy capital and was shoulder-to-shoulder with Max in the armoured cavalry charge on the entrenched Atlantican heavy tank positions at Fedexfield. This brave attack along with Valiant pressure from outside the city started the route that forced Gills' hordes back to the depths. For this, he received the Medal of Valour and was the first choice in Max Star's special Democracy unit. As a decorated tank commander, Tyrone commands the Cyclone antibot hunter, a deadly machine that can be a car one minute and then be mowing down Bots in a split second. This makes Tyrone and Cyclone one of the most feared Democracy units for Bots.
Brad Wilhelm Hasselhoff was a hero in the Democracy way before the first Atlantican invasion. He started his illustrious career as a lifeguard on one of the Democracy's most popular surf beaches. From there he was handpicked by a wealthy business owner to prototype a secret intelligent car. One week into the test, the wealthy inventor died in unusual circumstances, leaving the car to Hasselhof. The car was actually a prototype intelligent weapon named Nighthawk and Hasselhof quickly realised he could do more good to society as a hero vigilante tracking down his wealthy benefactor's murderer. His investigations led him to the highest levels of government. It was Hasselhof's investigation that was used as primary evidence in the conviction of corrupted government officials, some of whom became founding members of Snake Corp.
Now Hasselhof and Nighthawk have been inducted into Max Star's special branch. Hasselhof is legendary in Democracy society and there isn't a Democracy household that doesn't know his name. His legend status is grounded in truth as he and Nighthawk single-handedly drove back Snake Corp Slaughter and Slyther and a battalion of Snake Corp ground units attempting to cross the Democracy Southern border. Recently he has decided to capitalise on his popularity by releasing a pop album which went to number one overnight.
