Not sure where to post this question.  Does anyone have an opinion they would like to share about what combat sim is good for lan play.

He he, more than likely - I find odd things really funny - my therapist puts it down to the strain of living in the desert - or that may have been the voices.

No question about it. The best LAN combat sim can be found by searching for older versions of Aces High.

Or Mechwarrior II.

We had some amazing lan parties in the mid-90s with that combat sim.

We also played warbirds head to head and air warrior.

to clarify: AIR combat sim.

Question: what was the last version of AH that could be played on a LAN?

The last version of Aces High that supported LAN play was V2.12.4. Learn about it here:

Mechwarrior living legends. If I could describe the toejam fight that was last night for 4 hours on 1 map, aircraft, tanks, mechs, BAs, artillery - it'd make you weep.
