Deck Table

Deck tables, often called Deckwalkers, are a new strategic item introduced in [Doctor Roth's Sing-Along Blog].

(All measurements are in metres, unless stated otherwise.)

Purpose
The Mk.1 military-quality Deckwalkers are designed to give a real-time 3D display of a battlefield, or any other area for that matter, which displays terrain, people, and objects, all with extensive information and near-full STAT C.A.R.D.s, in a scale of precisely 1/144th. The table projects a holographic model of the battlefield in question, and the overall surface area of the table can be variably set to any dimension between 10x10 ft to 300x300 ft, using a series of special adapters included with the purchase of a Deckwalker. While zooming in or out is not possible without careful software manipulation, it is possible to "slide" the display, and look at different areas within range, and the camera angle can also be adjusted.

Setup and Use
Setup of a Deck Table is eloquently simple. A series of probes, each of which being able to "see" in a 50x50x50 cube, are set up in an even distribution around the desired field. Each of these probes is then synched to the table, at the push of a button, and they are then ready to use.

The table can then be turned on by sliding a hand over its display surface.

The tables also have a touch interface, which allows a user to bring up statistics of a piece of terrain/a weapon/a soldier. Using this interface, it is possible to send orders and information packets to any computer system within the viewing range of the table, however it takes a highly skilled computer genius to send malicious data to enemy targets undetected, and several mods are required to do so safely. Despite this, it is a rather effective way for commanders to send orders to their soldiers quietly and almost untraceably.

Models, mods, and variants
Deck tables are an open-source project, to the extent that anyone can have legal access to the software within them, and edit it to their own purposes. The software is specifically designed to work with the actual table set ups themselves, however, and it is nearly impossible to make a functioning Deckwalker without buying the piece of hardware itself. Despite this, Several mods and variants of the table are commercially sold worldwide, with little prohibitations.
