Just the AI?
This has me thinking. As the first year and a bit are generally just an annoying exercise is trying to spend as little cash as possible (for me anyway). Would it be possible to have the game start in the R&D screen with the player designing or contracting components/vehicles and then go into Jan 1900 with those things completed? Subtracting the design cost from their starting funds obviously. Probably be an easy/normal mode only thing.
