One thing about wind specific to the AoE idea of a more strategic look at things. Wind is HUGELY important for Napoleonic naval strategy. The RN's blockades were very highly wind dependent, as were French chances at slipping out of port. Part of what made different ports, coasts, and islands strategically important had to do with prevailing winds. Not including wind would be like not having "General Winter" in Bonny's campaign into Russia.
Just saying.
Naval stuff always gets the short end of the stick.
