I recommend World at War. See:
http://www.islandnet.com/~dgreenin/emg.htm

Victory! (a game recommended by a previous poster) is excellent but
expensive. It has the drawback that it invloves intesive logistics.

World Conquest by Prime Time Simulations is pretty good too, if they
are still processing turns. See
