Pretty much when the lightning struck. Sans lightning, it could easily have been a potential (and maybe eventually real) PTA game for the rest of its life.
Hints?
A GMed game, with everybody else playing two characters, a marine and a civilian. Play will alternate between the front and the home front, with resource feedback between them.
Both at each front and operating between them, the dynamic is "who's giving up what for whom?"
Also: strict but sufficiently fearsome limits on the GM's mechanical resources.
