Great topic, @highlanderm43 .  😀

We’ve approached his topic a few times here on BoW, some of our results, discussions, and background might be helpful.

Most recently, for the for the Centennial Gaming in the Great War article series, we worked up a 1918 edition of the print & play Valor & Victory tactical board game system, developed for WW1.

Link to the Valor & Victory: 1918 Edition project:

It’s tactical-based, unit-based, and on a hex grid.  The scale might be a little small for what you have in mind, but  it might provide some ideas. 😀

For other theaters and scales, we also covered the Heroes of Limanowa  Kickstarter a while ago – the kickstarter didn’t fly but it may provide ideas for more operational-scale systems, or setting your game on different fronts.
