I don't know how many people still play CM:Barbarossa to Berlin, but they have been developing an operational level wargame that integrates CMBB to resolve the tactical engagements. Here's a preview of it (.pdf AAR on second page). It has a detailed supply model which makes for some interesting strategies - you need to stay connected to your depots and command structure to succeed.
It also allows 4 players to be involved in what amounts to a fluid, dynamic campaign.

I've been watching this one for at least 3 years, but it finally looks like it will come to fruition later this year.

That looks like a really good game, thanks for posting I'll be looking for that one.
If you're a hardcore strategist, I recommend taking a look at HPS Simulations (http://www.hpssims.com/index.htm) Panzer Campaigns (http://members.shaw.ca/gcsaunders/index.html) titles. About 9 months ago I stumbled upon the HPS site and bought all east front titles after doing some research on the games. Now I want the west front titles too, they are that good. I have yet to finish ONE grand campaign of these games and have not played through the first title, Smolensk '41. These games will keep you occupied for years.
