Commandos 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, I'd strongly suggest you start with that one. The first two (don't ask but yes, there were two games before the second) are also good but very puzzle-y, and the third one is too much like the second but not as much fun for some reason - some of the interface changes didn't sit too well with me and the environments not as interesting. Unlike X-com and JA they are not turn based, but you can take your sweet time to plan and execute your carefully thought out strategy any way you want. It almost feels like playing a WW2 movie in real time, absolutely fantastic stuff. Have fun.
