Last night I was playing Navy Field, the online naval shipbuilding and battle game. http://www.navyfield.com
One of the players had a new ship. It's name: Stimulus Ship.

Navy Field
Navy Field is a game based on World War II warships of four countries: the United States, Japan, Germany, and Great Britain. With experience you can move up in ship type. It's interactive, as you battle players from around the world.
You start as a neutral with a frigate. Once you reach Level 12, you can choose a country. I'm now Level 18 Kriegsmarine, as the Germans have longer range guns.
The unrealistic thing about the game is that, in so narrowly focusing on ship construction, it overlooks advantages and disadvantages the actual WW II navies had.
In this Navy region, I thought many would enjoy Navy Field. Just one catch: it's a large (418 MB) download. http://www.navyfield.com

Grid-Iron
For football fans, there's a new European-based fantasy football management game, "Grid-Iron". It's in it's first season.
I signed up this past weekend, inherited a club off to a 1-5 start (wonderful!), and play my first game tomorrow. The internationalization of the game is humorous, as the first two new players I've bought are a Dutch quarterback and a Slovak offensive lineman. (The first player my Fighting Flamingos bid on was a quarterback from Iceland.)

The Norfolk Airport Authority Would Love This
I'm nearing the end of a round of an online game, Airline Mogul. My airline has hubs at Norfolk, Oklahoma City, and Portland, OR.
Being a hub airport not great enough for Norfolk? What would have the Norfolk Airport Authority salivating is that I have nonstop service from Norfolk to 15 cities in Europe: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Dublin, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Helsinki, Kemi (of course!), London - Heathrow, Madrid, Milan - Malpensa, Munich, Paris - Charles De Gaulle, Rome, Stockholm - Arlanda, and Vienna. I would love to have Athens, but the Ilyushin - 76 TD doesn't have the range to fly ORF - ATH nonstop.
If you'd like to have a go at it, try http://www.airlinemogul.com/
