Yeah, sounds like Battlefield Academy would be right up your alley.

Battlefield Academy is often called Steel Panthers Lite (Steel Panthers with Panzer General level of complexity)

BA is a very good suggestion.
Also, if you'd like a tabletop strategy game conversion that's beer & pretzels, I'd recommend "Montjoie!" from AGEOD. It's only $20. There's a good review about it at Wargamer.com, too.

Edit: Oops! I noticed you mentioned something like PG2. That would be Battlefield Academy, definitely.

For beer and pretzels, Operation Flashpoint should not be forgottened, even if it's kind of dead in terms of upgrades. Fast paced and simple to play, but still fun IMHO. Haven't tried it under Win 7, but maybe someone else has?
RE: looking for NEW game beer and pretzel please help
Decisive Campaigns looks like beer & pretzels of the better kind. At least the predecessor was quite enjoyable.

Battlefield Academy is the beer n' pretzels PC wargame of the year imo.
Even easier to play than SSG's Carriers at War (my other contender for this thread). It's also been rock solid on release.
I still have not read 1 page of rules - I am half way through the game and stuck in Normandy right now being stomped on by the German AI.
I have also caught myself humming the theme tune at odd times of the day [:D]
In other words - forget the rule book - and keep your hand around the Fosters.

Or Newcastle... maybe he's British. [:'(]
RE: looking for NEW game beer and pretzel please help
He, if he is British, it probably will be a Fosters. It's more popular in the UK than OZ. Tastes better over there too.[:D]
bean, have you tried Panzer General Forever?

This is an excellent and under rated game. Won't take up too much time either. I've had a lot of fun with Operation Flashpoint.

I agree - Battlefield Academy should fit the bill perfectly for you. A second option would be Operation Barbarossa if you want more of a PG style.
