I could do you a spitfire XIV flown by 322 squadron, an all Dutch RAF squadron.

One game I have played at a con involved taking the parts of officials and revolutionaries in a banana republic. So you had El Presidente, the  generals of the army, the finance minister, sundry rebels etc. I was a general, and when I nipped off for a quick toilet break I came back to discover I had been deposed by a rival faction and took to the hills to become a rebel.

 

For 40k, you could have players take the role of the planetary governor and his top bods, and the revolutionaries and heretics who oppose them. When a run of bad harvests mean the world falls behind on its tithe quota, can the Imperial Commander screw enough productivity out of his already destitute populace to make up the shortfall or will the Tau back revolutionary leader be able to take advantage of the situtation to spark open revolt? Can the PDF suppress the riots or will they be forced to seek outside help and suffer the consequences of their failure? And through it all, how much wealth can everyone involved divert to their own personal off planet bank accounts?

 
Would this be fun long term? Maybe not, but it should make for a good few hours at a convention.

There is mention of (traitor operated) land based carriers in Double Eagle, so I feel confident that the Imperial Naval Air Service often operates from vehicles such as these from Dystopian Wars.

Pelgrane press have just put out Flying Coffins, a scenario for Trail of Cthulhu where you play pilots flying on the western front at the end of the first world war.

Love it.

I'm sure when I reading the original description of OW, when it was DH source book, it said it was going to more Military arms than just the IG so shoul have gone into the Navy too. Although I can see that they might not be able to for space reasons now. Hopefully the vehicle rules are going to good enough to cover that part.

Those Dystopian Wars things are interesting, in Apostles Creed (from the Sabbat worlds anthology) they mention mass carriers like it was nothing. Haven't read double eagle so don't if it comes up there but's good target to hit or home base setting.
