Description:

* Web based, multi-user system developed using free software solutions
    * Content Management System (CMS) to allow users to collaborate and
communicate in an on line community
    * Platform and Operating System independent
    * Open Source to allow modification of �everything�
    * Turn Based
    * Multi Side simulation
    * No Artificial Intelligence (AI). Only Human vs Human play
    * No PBEM capability, only on line play
    * Command and Control (C&C) structure allowing delegation in several
hierarchical layers
    * User based roles and rank determine level of freedom in C&C
    * Level of granularity of each game should be possible to be set, i.e
one can either choose to simulate combat and movement on a grand scale, or
on a multi layer scale. Battle within a battle concept to the extent that
battles are resolved at the most detailed level defined by the scenario
and the results are consolidated upwards in the C&C
    * Logistics, production, economics and politics should be available as
options
    * Technology development should also be optional
    * Automated, or semi automated During Action and After Action
Reporting (DAR and AAR)
    * Fully flexible creation of maps, scenarios/campaigns, Orders of
Battle (OOB) and Tables of Equipment (ToE) possible without �programming�.
Support tools should be developed in parallel using multiple Open Source
projects
