Typically 3 maneuver (Infantry/Armor) elements in a company.  An
armor-heavy company could indeed be a platoon of mechanized grunts (only
a lunatic has light infantry trying to keep up with armor by jogging,
although in city fights it's a reasonable combo) with two platoons of
tanks or tank destroyers or whatever floats your boat.

But I wouldn't choose Stargrunt as the game to fight heavy armor
battles.  That's really a DSII thing, for reasons of weapon ranges. 
Unless, again, you're fighting in the city or on the Golan Heights or
somewhere else where visibility is down to a couple hundred meters.  I
don't have any SGII vehicles, just because I happen to think the system
is handles infantry action far better and plays smoother if you don't
complicate things.  YMMV.
