...it varies from the sublime (eg WRG) to the ridiculous (Challenger
2000).
There are large numbers of sets of rules, some quite awful, some pretty
good. The most popular amidst techno-freaks is Challenger 2000, a very
complex set of rules that's quite innacurate as a simulation, but is
very believable since it deals with so many variables.

The rules question is complicated by the fact that under some sets, 1
tank model = 1 tank (ie tactical scale), while in others it equals
anything up to a battalion (operational). Oh yes, and the WW2 vs Modern
vs SF periods (DS-2 is but SF Microarmour)

I prefer the tactical, and Wargames Research Group rules (flawed, but a
good simulation). Others prefer SpearHead, etc etc. See the Miniatures
Page  http://members.xoom.com/minipage/ and look up the appropruate
sections.
