I'm late to this party, but you might appreciate the open source Axis and Allies engine called TripleA.
My step-dad was a big WWII history buff, and he had the pc version of Axis and Allies installed on the family computer! Loved it and occasionally fire up TripleA for nostalgia.
One of the later SNES games called Secret of Evermore!
It's kind-of a spiritual successor to Secret of Mana, but with a more sci-fi bent.
