I've heard of it, and actually have been meaning to look at it for a while. I suppose I'd count as a pretty casual anime fan, although I've been watching more as of late.

Dear gawd, I glanced through that page, and it's pretty absurdly detailed. I was somewhat bemused by how optimistic they were in terms of the timeline for technological advances. I think it was maybe a month ago the F-22 was finally declared to be completely combat ready. And heaven knows when the F-35 will be truly deployable.
