Oh, I agree there should be some integration.  As for the grid remaining a 
centerpeice, I think that ideally it would be split up -- the actual 
'players' could have a semi-gridlike space where sanity prevails, then you 
could have armies and factories on a seperate world-grid, on a totally 
different scale, and another area where there might be the RPG-esque stuff, 
and maybe even have quests and such.  And the 'central' part of it could be 
the points system.  Would need to keep interaction low-key, or perhaps 
instantaneous rather than lasting effects (move an army rather than grant 
BNS, for example), so that with a win with one resets that one, someone 
can't use an unresetted other part of the game to take advantage in the 
resetted one.
