It depends on the rules and, for a stand or element based game, it can depend on the size of the base so, if I use the same stand size, it might be 10 25s, 15 20s, 15-20 15s, and 30-40 10mm or 6mm.

It depends entirely upon the rules. Could be one base, could be a base per platoon, could be more.

120 figures looks about right. Rather use a platoon to represent a battalion then use 1 figure to represent 10 men.

I use 8 figs for a company (Rapid Fire)

In my World War Two world, one figure is one man (or woman). One tank is a tank, and I don't mean skirmish wargames.
A section is 9 or more figures, depending upon nationality
A platoon is around 30 figures
A company is around 100 figures.

So far, in 20mm, I can put around a battalion of infantry onto the field.

As I say, this is my world, yours may be different.
