Looking for.......

Hello all!
With all the expertise floating around out here (no pun intended) I was wondering if I could get a bit of info. I have several favorite sims (SH3, Mig alley, Il-2, Bliitzkreig), but I would really love to find a game that allows you to take more of an overall command perspective. I enjoy the strategy and tactics involved, but dont particularly like "first person shooter" type games. I guess I was looking for something like a dynamic campaign in an Admiral position.....planning air strikes, sending out task forces, engaging in surface battles with multiple ships etc.

That new Midway game sounds great, and the graphics look awesome, but I think you have to pilot a plane or captain a PT boat and the like. Even if an older game, does anyone know of a game like I'm looking for? I've been shot at, shot down, depth charged and sunk enough times to know that now I want to sit on the bridge of my flagship, drink a cup of navy coffee and send the young guys out to do the dirty work!
Thanks for your time.
(Oh, I saw the "Uber Mom" on a post over here, Hope you have been well!)
