There are hundreds of WWII strategy games. Are there any really good hard core strategy games that capture the complexity of the Cold War?

Try "Twilight Struggle" by GMT games. I believe there is a software version of it coming out. In the meantime, you can play it against others via the board game program Vassal.

East vs. West might, although it's still in development. An offshoot of the Hearts of Iron franchise.

This, if you can ever get it to work. I believe the game is Windows 16-bit only.

I would love to see GOG get balance of power (and balance of planet too)

I prefer the first one myself. Clearly one of my RTS favourites. They're more about an alternate history rather than Cold War history, though.
