I must watch ABTF at least once every four months.

Although you could change the figure scale, I don't think that would be 
necessary. The type of colony-world combat in the DSII/FT/SGII 
(blahblah) system seems to be on a small scale. With the speeds and 
firepower involved, you have fewer and fewer men in an operational area 
with more ground to cover. 

For a campaign, you could use battalion-sized units (50 figs?) running 
around on a map. When units meet, whip out the table and figs and pound 
away! Going with ABTF, your first battles could be drops, with light 
assault units dropping on spaceports. Capture of these sites would be a 
pre-requisite for landing heavy equipment for later scenarios.

Hmmm, this is starting to sound good...
