We're also thinking through the scale. Squad Battles is the right scale for house to house - Panzer Battles requires us to work out what were trying to represent at a higher scale. We are toying with things such as 125 metre hexes and co-existence in the same hex - but that maybe limited to different height levels to represent different floors and even cellars/sewers. Assaults in the same hex would only be triggered if units move into the same height level.

Actually, SB is bad for urban fighting exactly by the reason you gave. There are no multi-level / multi-hex buildings, which removes an entire dimension from urban combat.

Having said that, yes, PB is a bit far from being the ideal engine for an adequate simulation of urban combat at the proposed scale but, I would not think that you would want to start with different floors / levels. For example, Battle for Stalingrad (John Hill's one), quite simply uses :

Light structure
Heavy Structure
Fortified Structure
Special Structure

Some of those provide different bonuses and penalties, depending on the units' nationality. This is a much simpler yet elegant way of illustrating the different ways in which the two opponents made use of some of the buildings. SoS is even more simplified. I do appreciate they are at a different scale from PB, but (and what do I know...) in my view, this would be a better route to pursue, than to try to over-model. I do think that a slightly modified turn structure will be a requirement though, symmetrical turns do not work with a Stalingrad representation above squad level.
