Concerning the war games aspect:

Mr. Gold suggested Risk.  Not a bad suggestion, but it does not really
prepare a person for all the intricate aspects of wargaming.  My suggestion
would be to try some of the Avalon Hill games, like Kriegspiel (sp) or
Richtofen's (sp) War.  Both of these ae fairly easy to learn and can
prepare a player for the more involved games, like Kingmaker or Wooden Ships
and Iron Men.
