Road Wars are vehicular battles that take place on the desolate and dusty post-apocalyptic roads of The Wasteland.
Characteristics[]
Often comprising of two belligerents, with one in pursuit of the other, the causes of road wars are numerous, though often are fought for acquisition of fuel and/or other commodities, vengeance, or supremacy of a region.
Road Wars can be split into several categories: Hunts, Battles, and Flights:
Hunts[]
Hunts are small-scale road wars usually between one individual and several other combatants and are meticulously planned; they take place on and off over a period of time.
Battles[]
Battles take place between two groups of combatants who have a mutual desire to achieve a specific item, they are short and usually defuse once the item is acquired.
Flights[]
Finally, Flights are large-scale road wars often between dozens of combatants; the motive of one group is to flee to a safe-haven, whilst the motive of the other is the destruction of the former. Flights can take between several minutes and several hours to reach conclusion.
