Trying to judge interest in Battletech game

So I recently picked up Interstellar Operations and I immediately became interested in running an Inner Sphere at War game during the Jihad, but the way I was seeing it would be the players would play at duel levels. So for example lets say the players are the Ghost Bear Dominion they would have characters at the A Time of War level as well as control the whole faction vs the gm at the ISW level. Both would affect each other. Maybe it is too crazy of an idea, but I would like to see if others share my insanity. 
Maybe talk to this guy? <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3432214/is-anyon" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3432214/is-anyon</a>...
Maybe this would be two separate levels of play both fairly complicated.&nbsp;
This is somewhat similar to a thing that exists.&nbsp; It's using TW instead of AToW, but otherwise it's pretty similar to your idea. Currently playing as an OpFor for the TW scale part of a campaign.&nbsp; The GM is running the rest of the war using ISW in the background.&nbsp; It is set in 3030s, focused on the Andurien Secession war. It's a lot of work for the GM, but it's pretty cool when all the pieces are working. The players are running a mercenary unit hired by one of the sides.&nbsp; The battles involving the players' units are done in MegaMek.&nbsp; Non-player units on the same planet I assume is using the ACS rules.&nbsp; Then the rest of the war handled using ISW (with more different players running Andurien, CC, FWL, FC sides).
I would like to do something similar during the Jihad era. Continuing with the Ghost Bear Dominion each player would be a khan as well as have a atow character. &nbsp;Maybe tw is the way to go. I know it would be a great deal of work for me, which is why I am trying to judge interest. The acs rules would be used for all the high level play.&nbsp;
The reason I think the players all playing khans of the same clan is a good idea is that it would allow for coordination against a common foe while still allowing some good natured competition without it impacting the low level atow play.&nbsp;
