A lovely idea. I can imagine a virtual realisation of this game presenting itself on-screen rather like a hologram, where one keys in one's move on a keypad (which can also control the spin of the globe) and perhaps watches and waits as the computer analyses the position and works out its reply - perhaps showing its thought processes with coloured graphics whizzing across the cells. Once could also imagine implementations with vast numbers of cells and the 'earth' divided into continents, and one merely watches as a supercomputer plays itself using a fantastic variety of pieces and weaponry. Glass Bead Game eat your heart out. Magnificent!
