I thought of Defense Grid as it often requires quite a bit of strategic planning on some levels - it's played at a slower strategic pace, but it's real time as you build. I had some levels where I had to print out the maps to plan my build as the level progressed. (I have over 250 hrs on DG, so I find alot of replayability). It's kindof one of those games that I play by sitting back and watching what's happening and then place a new tower, or upgrading a new tower as it's needed. It's balanced well and has many game "modes".
You might try Gratuitous Space Battles. You build ships, place them on the map, and then press go - they simulate the battle. It didn't appeal strongly to me, but it's similar to what you describe and it's a tweakers dream if you like to keep modifying all your ships to use them in different ways.
