The only issue I can se from that is that you will end up with very
bunched squads (or huge bases) that would be rediculously vulnerable to
artillery attack (one of the many reasons that soldiers are not bunched
up in reality).
 
I personally play SGII at both 25mm (Sci-fi) and 6mm (Fictional C1984
conflict, Brits and Russians in Northern France). There is a nice
satisfaction to playing 6mm SG (with all but weapons teams based
individually) given that ground and figure scale are the same. It takes
me a while to get my eye in when working out who is what, but a
judicious basing (colour coded rocks) do help.
