I think the 40K stuff would make a good adaptation. There's a full writeup somewhere for the mega-city campaign and they work for multiple players. The 40K guys at the local store played it with ~8 players over the course of a couple months and I have to admit it looked pretty cool and should be easy to adapt.
I've also been working on a draft update of the Campaign Experience Rules that Andy Chambers did for E40K. I think the ground and WE formations are done, but the flyer experience table still needs major thought. Also, although they are almost done, not all the WE Battle Honors are ready for prime time.
If you are interested, here's the current draft, without the battle honors (which are longer than the rest of the rules by themselves):
Starting Experience
All formations start with D3 experience except formations that have a Supreme Commander character which start with D3+5 experience.
Gaining Experience
A detachment gains experience points for each battle it is involved in. Each modifier can only be applied once during a game. Ground unit formations include any non-flyer formation with non-war engine units, even if they have a war engine included, for example, an Ork Warband transported in a Battlefortress or a Superheavy Tank company with an attached infantry platoon. WE formations are exclusively made up of WEs. Flyer formations are, obviously, made up of flyers.
Ground Unit or War Engine Experience
+1 fighting in a battle
+1 If the formation claims an objective
+1 if the formation participates in an assault
+1 wiping out a formation
+1 destroying a War Engine
-2 If the formation falls below half strength
Flyer Experience
+1 fighting in a battle
+1 reducing an enemy ground unit to half strength using ground attack
+1 wiping out a ground formation
+1 wiping out a flyer formation
+1 destroying a War Engine
-2 If the formation falls below half strength
Experienced formations
Formations can be one of five levels of experience; green, experienced, veteran, crack and elite. Which level a formation is depends on the number of experience points they have.
XP Level
0 Green
1-5 Experienced
6-10 Veteran
11-20 Crack
21+ Elite or Battle Honor (WE-only)
Ground Unit Benefits
Green: Formation removes one fewer Bast marker when it rallies (minimum of 1).
Experienced: No benefit
Veteran: Formation may re-roll one rally roll per game
Crack: Formation is considered to have an inherent Leader ability
Elite: Formation is Inspiring
War Engine Benefits
Green: Formation removes one fewer Bast marker when it rallies (minimum of 1).
Experienced: No benefit
Veteran: Formation may re-roll one rally roll per game
Crack: Formation is considered to have an inherent Leader ability
Battle Honor: Formation gains one Battle Honor (and an additional battle honor at every 10 points thereafter, i.e. 31, 41, 51, and so on.)
Flyer Benefits
Green: Formation not allowed to make Jink rolls
Experienced: No benefit
Veteran: +1 modifier to Interception activation rolls
Crack: Formation can re-roll failed Jink attempts
Elite: +1 modifier to Flak attacks against other flyers
Wiped Out
A formation that is totally destroyed in a game is Wiped Out. The formation loses all of its experience. Reroll the formations base experience value. The formation subtracts 1 experience point from its new starting value to reflect the poor quality of reinforcements that are brought in to rebuild the formation.
Replacing Casualties
After every battle all casualties are replaced and all vehicles repaired in the formations which fought, so formations are always considered to be at full strength.
