I think this is a great idea, and I hope you guys pull
it off.  I designed a system very similar to this for
and you're welcome to cull whatever you can use from
the old project site:

I call my wings 'flanks' and I include a Reserve and,
later with technological advances, an Aircraft and a
Long Range Artillery box, but otherwise the basic
inspiration is the same.

Good luck and welcome aboard!
