But you *can* and players *do*.  The cascading activation system having a 
command unit burn command points does this.  Maybe they don't produce 
*enough* command points, but that's just a detail.

K'hiff attackers:

Command Group
	Command Platon
	Support Platoon
	Air Platoon

Company A:
	Command Platoon
	Heavy Tank Platoon
	Medium Tank Platoon
	Medium Tank Platoon

Companies B and C as A.

The K'hiff command group activates and generates his QD in command points 
(if that's not enough, consider an option to allow them to generate 2QD or 
QD*2, or multiply based on color <shrug>).  He now activates the company 
commanders for A, B, and C, who in turn generate command points to 
activate their platoons.

If that's not a battalion wide mass activation, I don't know what is. :)
