If you don't mind things a bit wider in scope...

I enjoyed (and still play) Airbourne Assault (Red Devils over Arnhem), and am intending to get the next iteration which is the Wacht Am Rhein operation.

I skipped HTTR and COTA, though only because I was still getting what I wanted from the original..

The battles that result are fluid, and you never know for sure when you set up a defense, or launch an assault how long it will take for your subordinates (the AI) to get everything sorted and the plan underway. Very large battles can be fought, in near real-time (with options for time acceleration during lulls) over operationally significant time periods.

A very small, very short engagement may be a 1-2 day battle between an Airbourne Brigade and a couple of Kampfgruppen, but the system remains manageable up to Corps-level 1-2 week operations. Units are represented at the company level (with some platoons - mostly low numbers of 'heavy' weapons, and some battalion sized units - Heavy Flak Battalions, or Brigade/Division Support troops (LOS troops of low quality)).
