I did this about 1 or two years ago with 40K. Each player controlled one
of the nations. For each supply centre (city) they controlled they could
field one 500 pt army. Put 2 500 pointers together and you could form a
1000pt army. 3 together and form a 1500 pt army, etc.

Every third turn was a supply turn. For every supply centre controlled,
you could have 500 pts worth of troops. In between supply rounds, any
armies that lost forces had to record the amount of points lost. That army
then fought at a reduced strength. In the supply turn, armies that were at
reduced strength were resupplied up to full strength as long as they could
trace a supply line back to a supply centre. Supply Centres (cities) held
a 500 pt garrison that could add to the strength of an army DEFENDING it,
they couldn't be used for extra troops when attacking. Movement was
dictated by the Diplomacy rules, battles were actually fought using 40K forces.

It was a really good way of running a campaign and made for some
interesting alliances (Eldar and Chaos? Who knew!).

It could easily be translated into NetEpic. Every supply centre can
sustain 1000pts (or any number you feel comfortable with) of troops. Easy.
