I finally found the time to check out some older mail and stumbled on
this one.

Tabletop Games (UK) have a few sets of rules called Corps Commander for
both WW2 and WW3. Every 
figure represents a section or platoon of tanks/infantry. The figures
are mounted on bases on 
which you mark the number of vehicles/squads in the platoon. When a
figure fires, it has as many 
attacks as there are vehicles left in the platoon.

Ground scale is 10 cm to 1 km (modern) and 20 cm to 1 km (WW2). Bey bey
offboard arty.

The rules feature command and control, supply and then some.

With a system like this you could fight divisional level battles and
still represent every 
vehicle.
