Looking for a little flashpoint... (MT/Early PMT)

Okay, the idea behind this is a combination of two of my favorite games: Operation Flashpoint and the Ace Combat series.

The storyline would go like this: Two small islands someplace in the world are rich in various types of minerals. One is owned by myself, the other by whatever country signs up. Now, I don't care who starts it, but a small conflict will erupt over these islands. The things I want in an enemy are they are equal in size to me, a good RPer, and has a good air force since that is how most of the combat will occur (along with naval combat, but mostly air combat).

One thing: Under no circumstances will WMD be used. It's all old fashioned combat. The idea behind it is it is a little flashpoint which doesn't even affect my relations with the other country. It is just a little situation that occurs over a few days that is brushed under the rug after it happens, and our countries make nice-nice after all is said and done.

I have an idea how it can start, too: One of my patrol craft gets blown off course by a storm, and accidentally stumbles into your waters. You take it as a threat, and blow the living fuck out of it. I retaliate, and it escalates from there. Now, since it is a relatively isolated conflict there would be no need to commit troops to the operation, so we can duke it out even if you're in a major war.

Comments? Questions? Anyone interested?

I loved the fourth one, and the fifth one had the best story so far. Haven't played Zero, yet, and that is one I wanna try.

I'll consider you as a candidate. I want to stick with a country more like my equal, but you never know.

If you are still looking then i might consider it, under my other nation of Crookfur (but would likely end up posting uder this ID because i'm crap at running multiple puppets).

The only down side is that Crookfur is fairly massive but it has been involved in this sort of thing before. I have never played Ace Combat but i love OFP, and have almost drowned 2 PCs with airplane addons for it. If using Crookfur it would be some what unlikely for more than a squadron of Airfoce aircraft to feature but carrir based aircraft would be more available.

Consider yourself considered. If nobody else comes along, it'll prolly be you.

I've narrowed it down a little to:

Strathdonia/Crookfur
Usea-Jason

I dunno which to choose, though. I'm leaning towards Usea-Jason, since I'm looking for a country more my size, but I can't leave a fellow Flashpointer hanging! :p

Decisions...

Anywho, for a little offtopic conversation while I try and decide...

Strathdonia, have you seen anything on Armed Assault or been following it? I say it looks unbelievable.

I keep an eye on ofp.info and the shots they have of it look pretty good, lately my interest in PC games has waned a little so it is msotly older but good stuff that i play like OFP and UT2004. As to wether or not i get Armed Assault it will depend on the editor, which is possibly the single greatest thing about OFP.

I am getting somewhat tied up in another Rp but i'll stil keep an eye open.

Not sure about Operation Flashpoint, but the Republic of Aralonia is a small, developing nation with a respectable couple hundred fighters and some pretty powerful surface ships, albeit having little quantity of ships. PMT about 2060, I can do that.

I did a bit of research on Ace Combat series because I wanted to make sure that my next game purchase would be alright, heh.
