Sadly, trump nixed the navy investment in lipid biofuel production so many of the commercial interests in this changed to new businesses. That meant the military was carrying the R&D load . When that went away it was reduced to DOE alone to carry the load. They don't have the resources to do that a scale.

Eventually they evolved the rules to the the funnest game and found the overall winner was a rule set where all pieces moved only forward and only along the diagonals by one square at a time. Captures were made by jumping over an opponent if it had an open space on the other side. And you could also jump multiple hood as well as jump your own pieces. All pieces reaching the far side could be promoted to a piece that moved backward as well as forward.
