15mm figures - and I'm kind of going with Battleground Panzergrenadier or Battlefront rules (with option of Command Decision III). The first two have one stand equal a squad or section and one model equal to or three vehicles - CDIII is a step up with each stand representing a platoon.

So Battlefront US Armoured Infantry Company from Normandy would be:

1 Command stand + M3 Half track

9 Infantry stand (3 with bazooka)

3 LMG stands

6 M3 Half tracks

1 57mm AT gun + M3 half track

1 60mm mortar stand + M3 half track

Each stand has between 2 -5 figures depending upon taste. So my German MG42s have gunner, loader and spotter on each stand, while my rifle stands have two or three riflemen with the odd MP40 guy mixed in.

So think Flames of War but with a bit more historical accuracy and complexity and a few less figures on the table.
