That's the basic idea, although an app could do more than just enter orders if someone was willing to build extra facilities for players to use. With an app (on a phone or desktop or whatever) you can spend lots of time figuring out your actions and entering or changing them locally as you go, then submitting the whole batch all at once.
Here, all app communications will be directly with the Talisman Games web site using XML-formatted data (so it is manageable for both humans and programs to read and write) rather than with a proprietary data format.
Of course, the web site will also be available to everyone to use directly, as well.

I have some co-workers/friends that are Developers and Architects that I can reach out to and see if they might also be able to aid me in looking at this. I view this as a kind of learning experience and will see what I can do. We do also use AP here at work so I am sure I should have someone that might be able to help me along.
