Holy shit, Planes & Mercs!
Planes & Mercs is a play-by-post system for simulating air combat in modern fighter planes. It uses a 1d10 roll-under system for everything other than shooting guns or missiles, which are roll-over. Battle maps are free-form and use measured distances and bearings rather than grids or cardinal directions. Game turns are broken up into Movement, Actions and Shooting. Players move their planes during Movement, perform actions such as locking onto a target or breaking a lock against them during Actions, and shoot any guns or missiles they have during Shooting.
