  I'd buy it, hands down.  As long as it was sufficiently similar to the
original game (yet, different enough not to violate copyright laws. ;), of
course, not sure how they'd "own" the happenings of WWII. :)
  I have heard at least 15 request for this game for the PC in the last 6
months alone.  These are only people with access to the net, who figured they
would ask in this base>  There is an infinite number of people out tehre who
LOVE games of that genre (yes, read: jusdt like A&A, no deviating! :), and who
would snap it up instantly. 

  I also LOVE Colonial Conquest for the Atari ST.  No wargame for my PENTIUM
(yes, a computer 10 years superior) has come close.  Check it out if you
haven't yet seen it, it would be a great grand-daddy type way the game could
be presented.  (scrolling map etc, all 6 major world powers etc etc)

  Please PLEASE let me know if this ever gets out of the planning stage.  (I
am assumign that you are just researching the idea right now. )  but I know
that any TRUE A&A-like fan (grin) would definately respond with their 3 cents.
