#2 Never played Conflict of Nations, but being able to game war scenarios is often quite educational. Maybe the USN will let us borrow their copy of Harpoon.

#4 One of the most educational scenarios in Harpoon for me was one in the Malacca Straits. Used to NATO/Soviet scenarios I launched a spread of Harpoons on radar mode to suppress the pirates ... five(+) sunk small merchant freighters (Ooops!) reminded me why we need more small combatants to do those necessary but trivial jobs around the world.
