Try XCOM. Squad-based tactical strategy. Or Police Quest SWAT. Some of the mid-90s RPGs had gridded, turn-based combat, such as Fallout 1/2 or Arcanum.

To me the "peak" of the tactical strategy genre is the PS1 [emulates well on Windows, however] game (later ported to various mobile devices) Final Fantasy Tactics (the later re-translations/ports are called War of the Lions).

Thanks for the suggestions. Sorry if my question was vague - I'm looking for an experience on the PC that feels like I'm moving miniatures around a big board. Imagine how cool it would be to have a PC version of LNOE! All the same rules with random dice results and you would never have to shuffle a deck! Then if you could connect with other players online we could have a LNOE game with 4 or 5 members of the board all sitting in the comfort of their own home (and country).

I'll take a look at the games you suggested - I'm hoping to find a good older game so I can pick it up cheaper. I don't need stunning graphics.
