You and me both. I loved TOAW. I think I may have found it though and I have been eagerly anticipating it.
The game is called Combined Arms: WW2, it was originally called Battlefields. I have been following it on their forums and a lot of people seem to feel it will be the next TOAW style game. As a matter of fact, a lot of the scenario designers from TOAW are designing scenarios for it. Trey Marshall, Daniel McBride (amazing scenario designer), and others.
Another game I am egerly anticipating, is Gary Grigsby's World at War. It is a WW2 Grand Strategy game. It is also turn based. I cannot stand Hearts of Iron due to the simple fact that it is RTS. There is waaay too much to do and the RTS portion of it seriously detracts from what could be an amazing game in my opinion. Not that there is anything wrong with RTS games, it's just that a game of this scope should be turn based. The Total War series is a perfect example of how an RTS game should be.
Both Combined Arms:WW2 and GGWAW can be found at

The same company that makes the awesome Uncommon Valor, War in the Pacific and Korsun Pocket, which is a very good Operational Level game to hold me off until Combined Arms is available.
