Use scenarios written for other wargames/boardgames and adapt as
required. 
Way, way back before I met Beth there was a guy who was fascinated with 
mechanized warfare, he had all the boardgames, Panzerleader,
Panzerblitz, 
etc. But he would game in 1/35th scale, 1 x squad counter represented 1
x 
squad, 1 x vehicle represented one vehicle and he used the scenarios 
published in the boardgames. The games were excellent, as he tended to 
moderate rather then play and would parcel information out to the
players 
to keep things interesting. The visual impact of a 1/35th scale Panzer
MK 
III bursting out of the forest was great, especially since I was the
German 
infantry commander holed up in a farm under attack by Polish tanks
(french 
built R-35s).
