I'm looking for a (quality?) AVR simulator that supports external RAM and UART communications. I usually use Microchip PICs, but for a new project I'm using Atmel AVRs, and I'm getting a little lost in my options. The intended application is for something like the Atmega128 with external RAM and RS232 communications. It appears AVR Studio supports external RAM, but doesn't support the UART (Huh?) Linux is preferred, but Windows and OSX are ok. Free and open source is preferred, but not required. Stability is also preferred over crashiness.

Can anyone recommend any interesting historical military simulation games for Windows? There's a ton of titles and reviews out there and I can't figure out where to start. I'm not looking for mindless shoot-em-up action but rather an engaging game that draws its substance from real battles or wars (esp. WWII, Vietnam, or Korea) and gets good marks for historical attention to detail. Ground, air, or both.
