To get close try one of the Combat Mission games. Perfect to LARP as Batallion commander. Another game series that could be of interest is Close Combat. I have not played it myself but it was recommended by some Muhreen Platoon leader to enhance your leading skills. Found it in a murdercube file.

Anyone who plays RD for the realism has lost their mind.

don't forget that it takes an accurate frontal salvo from ten t-34/85s to destroy an abrams because HEAT mechanics
the game is still the best you can get for some multiplayer fun though, perhaps one can try playing something like steel panthers but it's a pain in the ass to find a sparring partner for 2d turn based games

Bump.

How do you even test for that?

And I can confidently tell you that shouting information that you are receiving is far more pleasant than it has any right to be. Sure, it's not glorious, but fucking hell, you're in a comfortable place and you get to have a fairly decent situational awareness without having any of the downsides, like actually having to carry responsibility when SHTF or being out in the rain.
Well some reservist courses have used ArmA2 for NCO training, and atleast britbongs are probably still using Virtual Battlespace.

What makes you think real world leadership is any different?
These are the development stages of a soldier:
1. Civilian - Thinks he's made of light instead of flesh and blood.
2. Boot camp - Still thinks he's invincible, but now can follow orders
3a. First "battles" - Fires on enemy without enemy ever having the ability to return fire, feels like a god, slightly loses ability to follow orders
3b. Sees aftermath of an actual battle - Sees a friend catch a bullet to the guts and while trying to poke his bleeding shitty intestines back into him, loses his feeling of invincibility
4. First real battle he gets shot at - No ability to follow orders, feels like the worm he is, hides behind the nearest solid thing, hugs his rifle and cries to his mama
5. Xth battle - He's the sole survivor of several fireteams (or tank crews or whatever) getting wiped out, despite the fact that his fireteam hid real well and diddee mao when the going got tough….. begins to clue in that shooting back is a better survival tactic than hiding or running
6. X+Yth battle - Realizes that following orders works even better than shooting back and keeping the enemys heads down
If you're a good leader, you can reduce X and Y.
That's basically the sum total of your job.
On average with western troops and the troops of dictatorships get stuck in 3a and never evolve into proper soldiers, because they're mostly firing at civilians or what amounts to criminal gangs like the taliban. The few people who made the full evolution are Soviets in WWII and Vietnamese.
