PanzerBlitz and PanzerLeader are close. Old, but about the right scale. Of course Command Decision is a table top game at nearly the same scale |

Panzer Command from Victory Games is at that scale I believe (they are larger than platoons). The MMP produced successor games as well. Many of which are OOP at the moment and quite expensive. link |

The oop Panzerblitz (East Front) and Panzer Leader (West front) by Avalon hill fit your requirements. They can usually be found on eBay. Probably considered dated by the younder generation but still good games. auction auction |

I cannot think of anything recent or in production, but Victory Games (an arm of Avalon Hill) did the rather splendid Panzer Command many years ago. Compass Games and Avalanche Press do systems at the level of 1 counter equals a platoon. But their scenarios are generally at the battalion level. There is a copy of MMP's Panzerblitz: Hill of Deatth (the updated version of Panzerblitz and still in print and hopefully to continue as a series) HERE … Link.

I think GMT's Operation Dauntless fits the bill. Fontenay and Rauray in June of 1944, company and some platooons on the counters. |

As noted above, more typically tactical games use one counter per platoon. Panzer Leader/Blitz was unusual in that for armies with poor C3 it also used company counters (Russian, French). Almost none of the scenarios are division level, generally regiment/brigade. Some higher level games are pitched more at the level you are after eg Hells Highway used a mix of company and battalion sized counters on a 1250m hex grid. But the game covers the whole of Market Garden…. Outside of the (very long) OOP NATO Division Commander, I can't actually think of a single game pitched at division sized engagements. They are either corps/army and up or brigade/regiment and down. |

GDWs Europa Series of games were set at divisional level and lower. Again its another long out of print series of games. GRD produced the later titles in the series. |

Yes, but in Europa the counters _are_ divisions. The OP wants a game where there is a division on table (with company sized counters). |

Grand Tactical Series – each chit is a company (give or take). Expensive though. |

There was a recent rather innovative game, for which I believe one token represented a company. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the game, though… It was set on the Eastern Front perhaps around 1943 and had a single, large map (which may have been in two pieces). The activation system was such that one player would get a pool of points to activate units and any expenditure over that amount would grant the opponent bonus points to activate in their turn. You could keep track of it all with a token along a track. Different types of units would cost different amounts of points (so that Soviet snipers, for example, were much cheaper to activate than German ones). |
