Warlock I and II actually come fairly close to how MoM played, yet MoM had its own inescapable charm. The UI is just archaic enough, though, to make the old game unplayable IMO...which is funny to me because I never had issues with it back in the day.
There's another game that's similar, but can't think of the name offhand - you have a strategic map and then zoom in on a battle, made up of hexagons.
