Battlefield Evolution
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Set in the near future, Battlefield Evolution is a miniature wargame from Mongoose Publishing, the same company that created the Starship Troopers: The Miniatures Game. The rules for both games are similar. Battlefield Evolution has prepainted plastic figures opposed to the metal unpainted figures usually produced by Mongoose. The first set will be released in January 2007. Four armies are set to be released, with one new set added per army each month. The Israel Defense Force, United States Army, and African warlords were mentioned as possible new factions.
[edit] Story
In the year 2018 the fictional oil rich country of Kerakhistan plunges into civil war. America sends the Marine Corps under the command of Major General Walsh to protect its interests in the country. The European Federation, an economic alliance, sends in its own multi-national task force under the same pretenses. The Chinese, still smarting from the US-Sino Trade War of 2011, sends military units into Kerakhistan to curb Western imperial ambition in the region. The Middle Eastern Alliance, a loose alliance of both Middle Eastern countries and neighboring non-Middle Eastern countries such as Egypt and Pakistan, sends its own military force into Kerakhistan to act as a shield between the American, European, and Chinese forces and the local population. Kerakhistani militia groups pledge their support to the Middle Eastern Alliance, vowing to fight alongside those pledged to aid them. In Indonesia USMC F-22 Raptor Fighters and EFTF Typhoon II Fighters clashed, with losses on both sides. On the American/Mexican border a guerrilla force launched an attack, destroying patrol towers and an armed UAV. It is currently unknown if this force is of Middle Eastern origin or under orders from Beijing. It is also possible that this attack is from another, unknown faction.
