Fleet command for minimalists. It has no 3D graphics. The best way to describe the interface is like Microprose's Red Storm Rising but with the Motif Windows Manager.
The databases are probably the most extensive of any wargame, and the guys who maintain it are really good about responding to suggestions. For example, I didn't like that they didn't include aircraft stores on the LPD-17. Since a MAGTF's Aviation Combat Element is mission tailored, it should be able to carry AH-1s, UH-1s, CH-53s, or MH-60S, without having to redeploy them to an LHD to get them resupplied. They fixed that problem very promptly.
They basically devote all the effort into improving the content of the sim instead of the fancy graphics. The result is a simulation where you really have the opportunity to think about an awful lot of stuff that a real commander of a small fleet would have to think about.
