The only computer game I have come across with a realistic morale
system is Close Combat 2. If you haven't yet tried it I very highly
recommend it. It is definitely the closest game to simulating the
kind of battles SGII portrays. Unfortunately the maps are so 
complicated that making custom scenarios is a very serious undertaking.

The morale in that game is realistic enough that moving a squad into
a building with dead friendlies lying around can cause your soldiers
to panic! Try to charge a MG.42 team without suppressing them first 
will end one of two ways: your soldiers do nothing except hide, or they
run out and end up a pile of dead soldiers... The sight of a Konigstiger
can send men running. Did I mention it's one of my favorite computer
games?

Sorry for going a bit off-topic...
