I actually play FT and DSII and not SG. 
I got into DSII in a quest to find something less predictable and stat
based as GW's Epic.
I like 1/300th scale combat.
I'm currently experimenting with unit organisation. Rather than have 3
or 4 of the same 
vehicles in a unit I'm mixing vehicles to get a more flexible unit.

I have named them Combat groups and currently each unit has:

Armoured Combat Group
2 light tanks
1 medium tank
1 Missile vehicle (either multiple GMS/H or SLAM)

Infantry Combat Group
2 light tanks
2 medium APC's (2 squads in each)
1 IFV (GMS capacity and 1 Squad)

I found that this gave my opponents a lot of problems because of the 
range of weapons available to the groups was far greater than if all the

vehicles in a unit were the same.
