While my favorite is WinSP:MBT that has already been posted, you can give a look to :
SP:World At War
http://www.steelpanthersonline.com/main.asp
It's using a different version of the Steel Panther engine and set to WW2 too (SP3 uses a different scale so it plays differently than the games based on SP2), though i prefer WinSP:WW2 for ww2 wargaming, it's a very good game.

On the same kind of gameplay as Panzer General, you have People's General, using a modern what if setting, it's really excellent, not sure if it's available out of the abandonware websites.

Advanced Strategic Command :

It is a nice open source recreation of the Battle Isles gameplay.

I'd like to see something like a hex-based RTS, but set in the same setting as Erfworld.
EDIT: Looking back, BfW looks pretty darn similiar; but it doesn't include building of troops, alliances, etc.

People's Tactics is a good tbs game. That is the site for the "sequel" which is not free, but you'll find the download for PT in the bottom right.

This game could honestly give out hand jobs for free and people would still bitch.

Fantasy General is basically Panzer General.

That's why it wins points for being "like" Panzer General.

Thanks for that tip, I've been enjoying that game over my spring break.  Perhaps people can give me some advice on it?
