Welcome to Excalibur Squadron, one of the most successful and respected RPs in the history of Nationstates. Since our inception, ES has been devoted to bringing together pulp WW2 action-adventure style with high-quality writing and research to create war RPs which are second to none. If you're here, you've made it as an RPer on this site, and that's just a fact.
The concept?
In a nutshell - An elite Allied squadron, formed at the very dawn of the Second World War, bringing together the most skilled and dangerous soldiers, spies, pilots, and all sorts of other violent do-gooders, intent on stopping the Axis Powers from overrunning the world.
That's you. And that's us.
We'll be fighting all across the world, on the most dangerous missions that can be devised. We'll be decked out with all the best equipment. We'll be meeting all sorts of interesting people, and in most cases, will both be shooting at them and being shot at by them. There may even be some riches and glory in it for you - and above all, you'll know that you're at the vanguard of the Allied Nations, saving the world from Nazi domination. Now THAT'S priceless.
So if you think you've got the skill, the style, and the guts for it, leave an app below - and get your boots on fast.
The Germans just invaded Poland.
