I'd suggest Piquet's Point of Attack: Blitzkrieg.  It shares a lot in
common with FMA, IMO.  It also has a lot of things going for it like

in the same game.  I enjoy it a lot.

I do believe, however, that there are at least two different straight-up
conversions of DS2 to WWII.  One by Mike Elliot, and the other not
(sorry,
I forgot the name).  For an early version of Mike's rules, see
http://www.cowell.org/~andy/min/ds2/variants/ww2.html.	I think I came
across the other set on MagWeb.  Ah yes, by Dave Hornung in Courier #80.
