It's been too darn long since I last played a game of SGII.  :-/   So I
can't really give any contributing data points.

I do hold, though, that a company-level game would be a nice one to
have.
I've been playing Tomorrow's War a fair bit in recent years, but that's
still platoon/squad level (I do like their vehicle combat rules, though
some of the guys who I play TW with don't; <shrug>)
