I think that you should sacrifice historical corectness with making things
as simple as possible. Taking IG as a starting point is excellent, and most
infantry units should be more or less the same depending on from what period
of the war you'd like to play.
You could make some variations to the rules for chain of command, amount ov
veteran/elite troops, vehicle stats (Now, thats a lot of work!!!!),
availability of special types of units (depending on which area/teatre you
want to play). I guess you could use NetEpic rules as a base for most types
of historical wargames. However, I think that roughriders are somewhat more
efficient than their polish lancer comrads form the beginning of WWII.
I guess the basic units would include, infantry with standard IG stats
(veterans/elite to include mainly better to hit rolls, more attacks and
armour value, to keep the emphasis away from close combat),
Bazooka/anti-tank guns with hwy.weapon stats and machine gun crews with
Tarantula stats.
Early WWII tank units should really suck when it comes to armour value,
range, firepower, armour piercing capability and CAF, continuing that line
of thought the T34 should be close to a Land Raider with a turret and, I
guess the TIGER I and II's should come close to a Shadowsword in stats.
This would of course be an enourmous task indeed, and I guess there would be
considerable differences of opnion and hard debates on the subject......
Sounds like a lot of fun!
