Within next few years computers will progress fast enough so that map 10 times the scale of our Huge could be displayed and processed...
I can think of nothing cooler then "web based game" where you have 2 teams of 5 guys each. ( Just an example )
One guy on each team is a superme leader and assigns over all goals to others as well as coordinating long range altilery as well as CAS ( close air support )
Other four have let's say one battalion each to command.
Every day ( or two, depending on people involved ) person downloads the CMB file from the server, makes his moves and uploads it. ( new featre would have to be added so that upload would only override HIS units. If someone else downloaded before him and uploaded after him, his moves would have been erased. )
Once all players made their moves - Judge or whoever, executes the turn on their machine and posts it as a movie for all to see.
THen they do it again...
This would be great to community, causing crations of divisions and other types of squads, all competing against each other.
Could be doable in real time too, assuming each player has only 10 or less units to move...
What do you guys think ?

Having that big of battle sounds interesting but i don't really want to command a battalion because it would take months to complete just one battle. I know some other companys already have that in the works with infantry, tanks, ships, and aircraft.
I'd rather fight a battle turned based with a rifle platoon and a couple halftracks.
