comment
Rivet Wars is a 2014 tabletop wargame created by Ted Terranova and published by Cool Mini Or Not via Kickstarter. The series is set in a future where technology never significantly advanced beyond the first world war, leading to impossible Diesel Punk weapons of war like monowheels, crab tanks, and miniature mecha. Players use adorable chibi miniatures to build their armies, deploying onto the field to battle it out.One major difference Rivet Wars has over its competitors is that it borrows from Real-Time Strategy games in allowing the player to continually requisition new units to add to the field each turn based on an allotment of "Deployment Points". These can be spent on reinforcing existing grunts, or calling in the aid of special hero units, such as Atomic Robo.Victory is determined by victory points, usually obtained by capturing objectives, with the winner being the first to reach the victory point total fo rthe given match.A second edition, subtitled Reloaded, was crowdfunded by Steamforged Games.

Plug 'n' Play Technology: Both in and out of universe. The game uses a "Plug" system, whereby a standard port can accept any option of the same diameter. This includes Hero units, Turrets, cannons, and various other upgrades, allowing real-time improvement of your forces

Mighty Glacier: in keeping with the WWI allusions, most of the armor in the game (especially the infantry armor) is ludicrously slow, but is only threatened by dedicated anti-tank weapons

comment
Sentry Gun: Ubiquitous, every faction has their own option. Notably extremely limited in utility due to the finite range of turret options and the stationary nature of their mounts, meaning they're only really viable as a counter-attack if you're getting pushed into your deployment zone.

comment
Attack Drone: the R100 series available to the Blight faction. Downplayed as the R100 is Awesome, but Impractical due to its expensive materials needed for construction. Also ambiguous with respect to the M2 Wolverine, which appears to be a robot (and is named like hardware) but is listed with he/him pronouns instead of the R100's It pronouns. Finally the Allies have mass production Clockwork Soldiers, who are extremely limited in their faculties (limiting them to melee only) but are outright immune to gas and poison weapons.
