Thanks for your interest in BBB for WWII. I don't think it would really work for 1/72 scale without some major compromises, but that's up to you.
There are actually three WWII versions of BBB, all in various states of playtest, none in finished publishable form.
The most advanced version is also the most technical, BBWW2B, by Bob Mackenzie. A beta version of this is freely available in the files of the BBB Yahoo group:

I think Bob has refined it significantly since that version was posted, but you could ask him. He has his own website with very very nice AARs indeed:

Worth a visit for any WWII gamer, regardless of rules preference.
I myself did a simplified less technical version based on Bob's approach but that remains a work in progress and I haven't touched it for a while.
The newest, simplest, cleanest approach and my own current favourite is a version by Bruce McCallum. That's what I used for my game last month of Canadians vs 12th SS Panzer:

All three versions have been used for successful games with two or three brigades a side, on 6'x4', in an evening. There's a little way to go before any of them becomes final and definitive. But meanwhile, do download Bob's version and give it a go, and watch the BBB Yahoo group for future developments.

Bloody Big BATTLES!
