Contrails: Team - M.A.D

This document outlines a proposal for a strategy and simulation game called Contrails set in a dieselpunk aerial world. The game would have two phases: an exploration phase where the player manages their party of vehicles from an isometric view, interacting with cities and factions; and an air combat phase where the player directly controls a single vehicle in 3D combat missions. The goal is to create a sandbox experience for management and aviation enthusiasts that blends party management, exploration, and aerial combat.
