I have not played a modern WWII based game on the PC. But I want to soon. What is your indispensable WWII game? Can be sim, tactical, operational, FPS, etc. Any front or theater.

Personally I've been looking at Iron Front myself, and I've got Battlestations Pacific ready to go.

The original Company of Heroes with the Battle of the Bulge mod.

What exactly do you mean by modern?  Made after a certain date?  Certain level of graphics? etc.

The 2 WWII games I'd take with me to the proverbial desert island are Achtung Panzer: Op. Star (w/ all expansions) and the Decisive Campaigns games (...ok that's technically 3 games, but whatevs...). 

Company of Heroes remains one of the most fun games in any genre I've ever played.  It wouldn't come to the desert island only because I've played it to death and then some.

Do they even make WW2 games for the PC? I haven't been able to find any.

Seriously though, Decisive Campaigns for me.

By 'modern' I mean after ~2000. Company of Heroes, eh? Nice. I have the anthology here. Operation Star I have been lusting after for a long time. Is there a gold package for it?

I don't know about "indispensable", but I really like Conflict of Heroes, Commander:Europe at War and Unity of Command.

+1 on the Combat Mission titles, primarily the CMX1's, since I'm still having trouble getting my head around the CMX2 engine. I so wish they had made a Cold War Hot version set in the late 70's early 80's.

I really enjoy HOI 2- Arsenal of Democracy. Goodness I can get bogged down on the Eastern Front if I'm not careful.

Bison's WW2 fav's:

Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Combat Mission Fortress Italy
Conflict of Heroes
Command Ops: Battles from the Bulge
Battle Academy

And unlike Toonces' suggestion, all of the games I listed can be finished in a single lifetime.  :P

I forgot about Conflict of Heroes...
