Don't play often, but my current project is setting up a game for the annual club get together.  Using a streamlined Stargrunt for 6 players.  Each player will run two to three sections or squads. (I'm from the scenario design school that says each player should have at least 3 independent maneuver elements.)
I tried a more ambitious version of this last year with each player running 3x 10 figure squads ( basically a platoon each) in a 10 player game.  Although everybody had fun it bogged a bit more than I was happy with.  This year I'm shrinking the squad size a bit and perhaps doling out fewer of them with fewer players to get things moving quicker.  Instead of activating a unit at a time I have each players entire platoon activate at once.

I only recently took the plunge into 15mm, during GZG's holiday sale.
My plan is to use leave 28mm-ish to skirmish games... and the occasional bit of Oldhammer/RT40K... and use 15mm for larger battles of a platoon+.

6mm is still my choice for the really big games, or anything featuring giant mechs and/or monsters.

Lots of figures, no vehicles, and the Azhanti High Lightning board game.
