Yeah, kind of.
If anyone drops out though, I'll let you know.
That said, the post length is about the same as the Ace Combat game, as is the depth and detail. If you had trouble with that, then you'd probably have trouble with this too.

I could go for this, depending on how fleshed out and story-related it is. If it's just all action all the time, then it'd get boring quick.
Also, how 'near future' were you thinking?

"Sir, with the addition of the GEARs and infantry that were not present or were playing OPFOR during the exercise, what is the unit's organization going to look like?"

Silverwind scratched his nose with one finger of his bionic hand, taking another sip of his pint before answering. The beer was a cool, light lager, rather than a dark ale, and it was a refreshing on the palate and to the body and mind after the exercise and its' hangups. Turning his attention back to the question, he answered while glancing around the room, checking to see if his people were having a good time, and relieved and pleased to see they all seemed to be.
"Well, it's still kind of a work in progress. After all, we're kinda writin' the book as we go here, like ya know. But I'm thinking we're gonna operate two, or maybe even three teams, matin' up our lighter, faster GEARs with th' more utilitarian and modular units. Th' Infantry and Ken over there-" he nodded and tipped his glass in the younger foxes' direction "-will form a composite unit wi' one of th' lighter GEARs. They'll move rapidly an' act as a special tactics group or unit as we need 'em. Like takin' objectives when we've suppressed the area, or goin' behind enemy lines to capture or observe key targets for us 'fore we make a move on 'em. Or clearin' buildings of anti-GEAR an' anti-armour teams an' weapons for us as we advance." He shrugged and raised a finger to the barman for another drink for them both. "Y'know, all the crap that infantry normally do that GEARs can't easily, an' that we ain't trained fer 'specially well. I reckon we oughta see a lotta impressive stuff comin' out of this idea... as long as we organize it well. An' that's what she's got a head on for," he gestured to where Amelia was sat with Oliver in polite conversation. "She's got a head fer numbers. I know her from an earlier assignment, an' I ain't met a better strategist. Not ta mention Irry either, she's good at that kinda thing an' all."
He pulled a cigar from his thigh pocket and put it in his muzzle, only to stop when the giraffe barmaid cleared her throat and tilted her head toward the prominent NO SMOKING sign on the wall of the officers' lounge. Grumbling the fox snapped his lighter shut definitively, and held the cigar in his mouth, at which she pursed her lips and continued to serve the others.
"Anyway," he said turning back to Myrina and pushing a full glass across to her, "Anyhow, all the workups will start fer that t'morra." He regarded her carefully, flicking his eye across her, before speaking in a hesitant voice. "2IC is yours if ya still want it. If not - well, I'm pretty sure Alicia might fit th' job, but I'd still like y'all t' have a say in organizin' things. Yer experience on th' border wi' the militias is what caught my eye. That an', well, I guess I like th' way ya handled yerself an' what I seen so far". He grinned after that. "Also, y'all look like ya know how t' have a good time in th' bar too, which is what we're here for, other than work!"

I didn't give a count on the fighters, but two per bomber makes sense. That leaves about half of them around.
I'll try to get a post up tomorrow with a bit more info in and to move the battle along.

I'm pretty sure my last calls on the missiles in my most recent post weren't right either, so I sympathise!

Since I haven't posted at all since we began and getting into the RP may be kind of hard at this time, can we just say that my plane had problems on takeoff (a compressor stall, perhaps?) and Nate will join in on the second mission?That or perhaps we're still at a point where I can get in easily, in which case, I would be happy to do a post. Please advise on this subject! :)

I was beginning to worry that you weren't interested!
You can quite easily still join in - all it'd take is a post of you engaging one of the hostiles to get into the thick of it, not much time has passed since we took off, and there's not been so much activity that you can't still make your mark.
If you'd prefer to wait, then you're more than welcome to do that too. It's up to you, man.

Sorry, I realized I missed a couple of replies in there

What's the policy on calling kills? I've been leaving them open for the AWACS to call like in the last RP.

Basically, I'll mention them as Overwatch when I post for the most part, but I'm mostly okay with you calling your own bandits/targets down, as long as you don't be a showboating tool about it, and make you character unscathed blissfully and a king of the skies - basically, not that I'm expecting any of you to do it (though I've had bad experiences before), don't turn your characters into hyper-competant Mary Sues, and I'll be fine.
It's not exciting if there's not a sense of danger, mainly.
And I will take steps to rectify that, if I see it happening...

With Voltus dropping out, could we declare IC that Excalibur Ten was shot down?

Sounds like a plan to me! I'll incorporate it into the next GM post I put up.

Thanks for letting me know, man - hopefully the game will still be running by then, and if it is, I'll plan around it. You probably won't miss too much as it is, so I'm sure it'll be fine.

Good to see the posts keep on coming. Great stuff, everyone :)

That's a shame, but fair enough and thanks for letting me know.

Don't worry about it, man - sometimes life comes first, and we can all understand that. The games' here for when you're ready to post. It's early days yet, and there's no urgent rush.

I've made another post to keep things rolling along and keep the fires hot. Hope it keeps going!
