My latest thought is a blimp shaped object suspended from a wire. Game pieces are gears and cogs which, when placed, form a mechanism for translating the blimp across the field on the wire. Game pieces that move the blimp faster have higher points value, but are more difficult to place. End game is the blimp reaching the destination first - a red alliance and blue alliance have their own blimp. I look at all the watch pieces in the artwork and think "They've got to mean something". Field has a 19th century feel to it with brick buildings as obstacles. The submarines in the art work represent a hidden danger, perhaps a random obstacle or indicative of active defense allowed during the game.
