Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations looks like a fascinating heir to the Harpoon series of games, but there are two huge strikes against it: the price tag is outrageous ($80 for a game is a lot, to say the least) and I’m a Mac user, so I’d have to run it in Bootcamp or Parallels.
Does anyone know of a good alternative? Naval strategy game, possibly operational-level, anything from WWII to Modern Era?
Naval War: Arctic Circle looks reasonably priced, although I’ve heard bad things, and would still need to run it in Parallels.
Is there anything else even remotely similar out there?
