requests for comment(RFC)

All, requests for comment(RFC). Proposal develop an RPG game setting based on the TV show Warehouse 13. Time period would be 1930’s to early 1940’s. A team of interesting player characters travel the world. Retrieving artifacts and advanced scientific items. Before the axis powers can retrieve and use them in the oncoming war. Along the way team up or encounter some of fictions greatest character. And historical figures of the era. First question what should be the underlying game system?
I ran one like this, Warehouse 13/Supernatural crossover, set in the 70s, using N&SP and BTS rules, with some add ins. I would love to play this game. Sounds like an Indiana Jones action movie. 
Monster of the Week (Apocalypse Hack) would work pretty well with this.  CoC / Delta Green if you want a crunchier system.
I could go either way. I've got most systems, I guess if I had to pick, I would do CoC Delta Green, only because I am more familiarized. 
Yeah i i kinda like the idea. I expanded a similar type of game  (for a in person game) Though my game was a a more B.T.S. and Heroes game then when Nightspawn (then bane) came out i integrated it into the game it can work fine if you adhere to nightbane cane only be standard class (no sorcerers and such and cut down their regeneration and /or  make sure all characters in the group have a Healing ability of some sort. (though i do the same in a group for rifts when i have juicer types.). Though the group i ran the theme through (the actual steady 4 ((plus me)) ), Was a Tricked out Dedicated Martial artist form  ninjas. A Power aurmor guy  (based off the man of steel D.C., A Super human electric guy. A night bane detective type guy. and a military specialist Psychic. It worked well.
