What you folks think about a type of role playing game such as the following:

One person would portray a person from the WWII era such as Hitler or Stalin or even a General. Then we "go to war" and adjust the actions taken without changing the "tools" of war. While the same devices would be used, the method and deployment would change. "If" Hitler did things differently, he could have been a VERY formidable foe. The same applies to Hirohito and even Stalin. This would excersize our history and explore possiblities. And it just might be fun.
I would suggest that we start in the 1933 era and work up.
If this sounds interesting enough and or if you have suggestions post stating so.
Whatcha think?

M$ would probably rush into production "The Age of Empires - WW2 version 1.0a and put you out of business.

Well if Micky$oft rushed it into production it would probably be buggy and they`d offer no free support.
We need more participants as each opposing force would need support personell. (Hitler without the SS?)
Lets give other folks a chance to offer.

Just like starcraft. An upgrade on the ss building - the population consumes less food and produces more...

Yes I would like to see many more ideas. Had to Jab M$ - it is in my nature.
