I explored this idea with HiTech, back when I was acting as a liason between HTC and the US Air Force Academy. Basically, what Dale said was, "Gimme a million bucks and I'll do it." So, there you have it. Anyone want to start a collection?
By the way, for a time HTC provide free accounts to the USAFA cadets in their War Gaming club, allowing them to play for free (Dale's a good guy). We even explored using AH as a training device for the cadets, but could never get the "Brass" beyond the "Well, that's an interesting concept" phase. We pitched it using a combination of a Power Point presentation, a AH music video, and a live demonstration. We did an 8v8 airbase strike mission, with two computers set up at USAFA and 6 of my squadies on line. We flew P-38's. We arranged for a squad based in Germany to play the Bf-109s that would attempt to intercept us.
During the demo, I pointed out to the Colonel (Dean of the history department) that those were Germans intercepting us. He said, "Yes, I know the 109 was German."
I said, "Yes Sir, but what I meant was those are being flown right now by Germans, in Germany, right this moment."
He looked puzzeled for a moment, then got a big grin on his face. "S**t hot, son, that's pretty cool!"
