OK, maybe not THAT Tango, but a pretty cool one anyway.

Imagine, a miniature game world without borders or physical boundaries, a world where, without ever leaving home (or the club), a German gamer could play with a Canadian gamer, each seeing the other's forces present in the room with them via AR (Augmented Reality). Even terrain could be projected. Tango, what have you done!
