The direction in which I'm thinking is:

Each stand of 2-4 figures represents a fireteam of infantry or a 
specialist team (support weapon, observer, whatever).  Vehicles based 
as singles. Activations given to platoon-sized units (as in DSII), 
typically 6-9 infantry bases or 3-4 vehicles. Infantry small-arms 
fire (including small-calibre support fire)  resolved on a group 
basis, ie: one platoon vs.another with hits distributed among the 
target stands. Vehicle and other heavy weapons fire individually. 
Typical "player force" for a small-to-medium game with average tech 
levels would be reinforced company combat group, say a 2-3 platoons 
of infantry, one or two platoons of AFVs plus HQ and attached 
sections of supporting elements.

Is this the sort of level that most folks (assuming an interest in 
15mm at all) are interested in?
