Hi All,
Steam is having another one of their big wargame sales. I've curated a list of some of the most interesting games on the list. You can find it here:

No, I'm not a Steam affiliate, so I derive no revenue from any purchases you make through Steam.
Enjoy!
Dave

thx Dave
I have literally every game on that list.
Wow! That is impressive! I have a good percentage of them, but not all. I just picked up a bunch in their Autumn sale (which was new this year I think).
You are missing Graviteam Tactics: Operation Star (http://store.steampowered.com/app/275290/)on that page. It's -85% including all DLCs.
^yep. Got that one too. Hehe
I think that some games are missing from that list, for example:
- Horizon (classic 4x)
- Hegemony games (3)
- Battle Academy collection
- Imperium Romanum (great city-builder)
- Space Empires IV and V
....

That is a steal for less than $5 Cdn! SOLD.

Oh yeah, that eventually turned into a great game.
Now I gotta think of some games to add to the list. Hmmm.
NOBUNAGA'S AMBITION: Sphere of Influence (http://store.steampowered.com/app/392470/) (still kinda pricey at 50% off)
Sengoku (http://store.steampowered.com/app/73210/)
I've been off and about celebrating Christmas and feeling sick :P so it has taken me a little while, but I updated the post with your suggestions and did a few hat tip mentions. :) You can see here, under the heading "Other Recommendations":

AmandaChen - I had considered including Nobunaga's Ambition in my original list but skipped over to it due to price. Your recommendation pushed me over the edge and I've listed it under other recommendations along with HT to you.
Dave
Nobunaga's Ambition is a steal if you know how much Japanese games are going for in the market.
Faster Than Light is $3.99.
Groggy
Some other great games:
Armada 2526 Supernova
Grand Ages Rome Gold
They are so cheap, it's almost a sin not to buy them...

Agreed, Armada with Supernova add-on is a great 4X space game that's not too terribly complex but still has a lot going on. Do the tutorial and you'll be up and running without a steep learning curve.
I'll always second any recommendation of Armada 2526 (especially with the Supernova expansion). Great game.
On the flip side, Distant Worlds: Universe is currently 50% off during the Steam sale (I'm sure because it's part of the Matrix/Slitherine sale as well). A significantly steeper learning curve than Armada, but still a hell of a lot of fun.
Silent Hunter 5: Battle of the Atlantic for $5. Any takers?
Armada 2526 Supernova - another game to buy that I don't have time to play. But I love this genre and at $5 it is hard to pass up.
I have not even read the docs for Distant Worlds Universe yet!

A wise decision; I don't think you'll regret it. O0 One of the easier space 4x titles to get into, yet still pretty deep -- more so than it might appear to be.

You've got all of next year...or until DW2 is released -- whichever comes first. >:D
Sweet! Thanks all! I've updated the list with hat tips to appropriate parties. :)
