That Continium (sp?) time travel game I finally finished reading has
conflicts like that, except they call it The Great Game.  Players are
responsible for defining and defending the borders of their chosen
(usually native) societies, across the span of time.

It sounds really cool.  But I just couldn't wrap my mind around it.  I
guess it'd be one of those games I'd be better at playing that
running.
