For naval strategy you might want to look at Silent Hunter, not sure about land prehaps Brothers in Arms.

yeah brothers in arms is good as a land game. i dont know about sea though.

Europa Universalis: Hearts of Iron is a typical STRATEGY game, not a tactical one.

If you're a very patient and very organized person, then War in the Pacific is THE land/Sea wargame !

I think that you should get brothers in arms for land and I haven't played it yet but I think Battlestations Midway is tactical

Brothers in arms if you like tactical fps.

Steel Panthers is graphically several years out of date but is a good turn based brigade level game. It can be downloaded for free; you pay for further scenarios but there are plenty with the game.

Steel Panthers - World at War ! - Matrix Games

It's produced by Matrix Games, who make a number of strategy games. I've not played the new version of The Operational Art of War but the original was excellent.

i've not played Hearts of Iron, as recommended by Laufer, but from what I've heard, it's the best game if you want a detailed game where you're operating at the Churchill/Roosevelt/Hitler level of grand strategy.

Hearts of Iron is definitely worth Checking out for a strategic wargame.
