I've never in my entire life seen a female play a hardcore military sim of any kind. I'm sure they may exist, but there is a HUGE gender gap. Huge enough to make females almost nonexistant in the genera.
It's the same thing and worse with board wargames.
Hardcore wargames just don't speak most weomen's language. They DO exist I'm sure.. but like I said.. RARE.. RARE... almost infinitesimaly RARE ! They've been trying to analyze reasons for it for YEARS on Boardgamegeek.com (that I frequent a LOT) and there has yet to be any one difinitive reason.

(I've been trying and trying and trying to get my wife to throw down with any of even my SIMPLEST of war games with no success. Even Axies & Allies which is a super simple wargame eludes her and she won't play it.)

I DID however, several years ago, at a game convention encounter a female player at a tournament that I had entered. We were playing a sci-fi miniatures game called Warzone. It was me vs her.. and she spanked me... HARD !! I was wiped out of the competition in about 15-20 minutes. I had to check my manhood at the door as I left that day.
