Two women, sisters probably.... oh sorry, gaming fantasy.

Well that's easy:

1. A properly functioning WIF
or
2. A quality War In The Mediterranean 1940-43 game. Focusing on individual ships (the player is in charge of convoys to/from Malta, North Africa, Greece etc) and regiment/brigade sized army units.

Looks like Polaris Sector. A TBA game. I watched the video of it the other day and it looked very promising indeed.

PS - I am playing Endless Space at the moment. Got on the Steam sale.
and it is certainly fulfilling a need.

OK. Here it is:

You start off with a ship building/design simulator like in Rule the Waves. You build a fleet. Then you fight with it using the War in the Pacific AE game engine. There would also of course be an aircraft design simulator and you would be able to design your own LCUs to fight the ground campaign.

Fun, fun, fun. And also fun.

So what you want is unit editor for WitP:AE?
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

+1. It's surprising nobody has properly modeled the interaction between land, sea, and air in this theater. (Yes, there's a WitP scenario, but it has no AI.)
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

Just imagine. As the British you know how many tons of supplies you have to deliver to Malta each turn (and as the Italian to Libya). These amounts are adjusted for the actual troops/aircraft you have. As commander you have to set the composition of each convoy, pick the route of the convoy and the make-up and placement of the escorts. The enemy has limited knowledge on your movements - air search, patrol lines, submarines, are all vital. One day perhaps

A wargame that actually uses more Collateral damage stats in the game. Say a city gives you 10 points of population when the war starts and during the course of the war it get blown to smithereens (taking out planes and tanks and units from bombardments and assaults) then this figure should drop by a certain amount in the aftermath. You can't recruit soldiers from dead people. You can't build tanks and planes or recruit an army from dead people.

It just seems all too many war games leave out the collateral damage like it was not part of the war.

A world War board game that has a top commander, and his subordinates fight the battles for him.

Having Multiple players on one team (side). Commander and Chief lays out the plan and regulates the economy, military forces, Battle lines etc. While His subordinates (army officers) engage the enemy on the field...going one step further, entering into Squad level fighting.
Of course the Commander can take position on the battlefield too.
Simulation, Strategic, Tactical all in one.

"WELL ~ Mrs. LIncoln,
other than that, How was the play?

Distant Worlds, WiF (fixed), WitE/WitW, Flashpoint, CMANO, CMx2, ATG - these were "fantasy" games back when I was playing SSI's classics.
Yes Waltero, something multi-tiered would be nice, especially if AI could take over some tasks.

My next fantasy game is Tigers on the Hunt here at Matrix. Then I need to give up and enjoy what we have [;)]

Road to Moscow.

Or WWIII in space. No aliens, hard sci-fi with spacecraft like buildings (forward is up), not like wet boats. Imperial Chinese Star Fleet vs. US Space Fleet or whatever.

The John Tiller ACW campaign games all combined into a single, huge, regimental level game with the appropriate mechanics for unit production and reinforcement and a fairly complex supply system. Leadership rules to allow promotion/demotion of all division level and higher commanders. Ability to reorganize armies, corps, and divisions.

Naval rules for blockade, bombardment, and invasions.

My favorite games taken to the ultimate extreme!
