Ah man, this looks neat. I'll probably be too busy to make a character, but let me tell you all why we should make our base in Detroit. The home of North America's auto industry, Detroit is without question the manufacturing heart of the former United States. When the Axis threatened the world a decade ago, it was Detroit that provided the planes, tanks, and guns to defeat Hitler, Japan, and the Soviet Union. Sites that were nothing but patches of dirt and trees in 1940 had become the famous Detroit Tank Arsenal and Willow Run Bomber Plant by 1943, building vast numbers of war-winning vehicles that armed America and its allies. And to this day, they haven't stopped-the Tank Arsenal continues to be a major source of armor production and development for the Great Lakes and its allies, and while Willow Run doesn't make bombers anymore, the factory and the airport are still a major regional production and transportation hub.  This great decade of the 1950s is an incredible time for Detroit. The hometown Detroit Lions are one of the best teams in the NFL, the neighborhood of Black Bottom is one of the most thriving African-American communities in the country, and the auto industry is thriving. If you want culture, the Detroit Institute of Arts is one of the best art museums in the country, the music scene is fresh and innovative (And some say on the precipice of issuing breakout hits that will take the country by storm), and the Henry Ford Museum in nearby Dearborn hosts an incredible number of artifacts from across the continent. The only downside, of course, is the weather-Michigan's never been known for having kind winters, and industrialization hasn't done much for the climate. But bad winters and a lack of fish in the River Rouge are a small price to pay for setting up shop in the heartland of arms production and development in the former United States-and that is what we're here for, isn't it?  Detroit has the transportation. It has the industry. It's got plenty of young men and hardened vets from the War for hire. poo poo, Detroit has everything a budding young mercenary company could want-and, I've got a good lead on a spare hanger for lease over by Willow Run. And thus, I ask all of you-for what more could we possibly wish that the Motor City doesn't provide?  Nothing, that's what. Acebuckeye13 fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Jun 23, 2018 |

Tunicate posted:"Ze runway is so expensive. Why bother with it?" Jean asks, gesturing over the ocean "We already have ze perfect surface to land seaplanes. This iz the Great Lakes, non? Why not pick fighter planes that can land anywhere? And if we get a carrier, zey will already be perfect for it." New plan: We get a PBY Catalina and load it up like an AC-130 for ground support.
