OCS is the Operational Combat Series, from GMT (no, I don't know what it stands for), or is it The Gamers? Counters are divisions, or regiment/brigade/battalions, the maps are 5km hexes, and the turns are 3 days. Various games in the series cover separate campaigns in WW2, like the battles in and around Stalingrad, Sicily, Burma, and so on. There is one for the Korean War, too.
I'm much more of a fan of the older Europa series, from Game Designer's Workshop (GDW, you might have heard of them?), now from Game Research/Design and Historical Military Simulations, or HMS/GRD. Those games can be linked to re-create all of the European half of WW2.
