Increasing terror attacks, culminating in the September 11th attack in New York changed much for the world of special operations. Although they had been active in an organized fashion since before World War II, there was sudden high, public demand for their services. Globally, special operations forces and the intelligence communities from various countries began working together in what would become the Global War on Terror.
The Warfighters is a collaborative board that aims to tell these types of stories from a respectful, authentic angle. We are an open sandbox world, where you can craft your own story as you play. From secret espionage missions to loud, explosive assaults on terrorist compounds. You want to write it, we can likely make it happen.
Our focus is, as stated, the special operations and intelligence communities. That means we do shy away from large scale, open warfare and more on direct action unconventional warfare.
We are set in the real world, with real locations. We do not incorporate any fictitious elements (for example movies like Rambo, The Expendables, and other "hyper action" movies) and instead focus on authentic realism.
Thematically, we share more in common with movies like Act of Valor, Tears of the Sun, or shows like The Unit, SiX or SEAL Team.
