RE: [DS] Micro Armour

As you said there are a number of options depending on taste.  1-1 scale
is 
fine if you don't use more than a company of armor.   Due to the
distances tank 
and AT guns can fire, larger units need more space to maneuver.  Command

Decision and Spearhead use @ 1-5 scale for vehicles and players are
Battalion 
and Regimental commanders.  Both are reasonably well supported on the
web.

I take it that there are rules sets for just about every taste?

Any good sets for the WW2 period?  (My friend has a few german and
russian
ww2 micro armor tanks.)
