...and the Ancient Art of War at Sea won't run on a Mac II (what I have),
so it's boring too.  I can recommend the Universal Military Simulator
as a fun product.  It works on my machine, and probably works on the SE/30,
though I don't know for sure.  UMS is a system that allows many historical
and fantastical scenarios to be modeled.  If you're familiar with board game
or miniatures simulations, much of the system will be familiar to you,
including the fairly standard unit designations.  I have downloaded many
custom scenarios from various networks, simulating everything from the
Romans to Star Fleet.  It's been fun, though of course I wish for
bigger, faster, and more flexibility!
