IABSM is company based (I have Q13) and Coc is (I think) more platoon based with supports.
I've got the rules "what I wrote" for larger games and wanted something at around 30 figures a side.

Would not take a lot to convert.

yeh that was my thought. The core mechanisms of tfl games are very similar

To paraphrase Danny Glover "I'm too old for that sh*t".

About an hours work, then tweaked as you playtest.

What sci fi do you want to fight?

Bigger than Stargrave, smaller than company size.

The rules I wrote were written to make use of my big 6mm armies and I have used them for bigger 15mm games. But i'd like to do something around "platoon" sized maybe with transport and some support (hence my thinking of CoC). They have a sort of mini card game that drives activations.
I could bring the unit size down to squads and use them, just about, but they're not really much good for solo play.

If you go onto You Tube, there is a Storm of Steel film of a Star Wars CoC game which Alex (Sotheran) narrates as he plays. It was a few months ago now - sorry, I've looked for it but can't find it.

Low tech, medium tech, high tech, power armour?

Didn't really watch it to be honest, not my thing.

Yes!
