Thats what I intend to do:).

DS seems to be the most easily adapted, although SG could work as well.

The way I see it, to reflect the tabletop game you would need to play one
unit/element activation at a time.  It would be slow in some ways as the
enemy can react with opportunity fire, but if executed well would be a good
game  - assuming players responded with turns quickly that is.  Dealing
with one unit at a time would be GM friendly and allow the battle to pan out
in the same way as a tabletop game. I would also avoid reams of contingency
orders.

Yup.  When I looked at the idea back in 98' I figured each squad/section
would be centred on the commander with all squad members plotted relative to
he/she/it
This could be varied by unit configuration, column, line, wide open order,
etc. so exact position could be worked out at a moments notice.
