I don't know... Smells like Panzer Corps...
I see you're point. They would have that in common. But really? Panzer Corps? Not even on the same planet in terms of realism and depth.
Maybe the core units are a bad idea. But having say an entire WWII game played out in linked operational level scenarios is very appealing to me. And having your performance in one scenario affect which one you played next and possibly OOB's and timeline would be very cool.
Say for example you are playing the allies and as Poland you manage to hold out longer than historically happened and induce a few more casualties.
So the next scenario is an invasion of France but it starts two weeks later allowing the French to build a few more units and some of the German units are a bit depleted because of the struggle with Poland. This is just an example of course.
