Well Doug, thanks for your input.
At this point I haven't allocated any dollars to this. I would say I would spend what it takes to get it done if I know it's possible. I know 'AA' have the full backing of the Army and a ton of people involved all over the world. Since I'm a total novice on this arena I'm not going to spend $350,000 on an engine and later find out the project is to complicated at this point. In other words I'm looking for a cheap way to test the idea and then move on with bigger money, maybe get financing if it's commercially viable.

Doug, you are with Conitec, right? So you know the weakness and strenght about you product. Would you say it's good enough to make a working model of a multi-player on-line game? With the weight on high resolution graphics?
