Is there a set of rules where each player's force is anything from a couple of companies up to a reinforced battlegroup in which each model vehicle/base is a platoon?

Greetings

Several.

E.g.:
Command decision – Test of battle
Blitzkrieg Commander
Spearhead

Normally a player command will be a battalion plus.

Regards

Thanks Edward. I have never played Blitzkrieg Commander, but I own Spearhead and have played Command Decision (1st edition, a long, long time ago). Both those rulesets seem more geared to having at least a brigade and more probably a division per side?

Commander Decision is pitched at exactly the level you describe. You would struggle greatly to run a division with them. Brigade is doable with time, if you know what you are doing etc.

The sweet spot is reinforced battalion.

Thanks Edward & Martin, I know what to have first look at!

FFOT3.

Can use the boardgames Panzer Blitz/ Panzer Leader as well (I do).

A second for Look Sarge, No Charts.

Combat Command (available on Wargames Vault) uses that exact scale and allows the player to construct a BattleGroup by combining historical companies. Good for pick up games.

Advanced Rules to be released in near future.

Maybe 100 sets by now. Seems to be the most popular level of play to write for.

Kampfgruppe Commander is another good choice, models c&c very well.
