Speaking of mechs, another idea is a Battletech sort of game with elements of This is the Police set in the Patlabor universe or a new property that features smaller scale mechs operating in a civilian setting. As a commander of this unit, you get to outfit your officer's mechs to deal with the situation at hand. Fighting against two drunken construction workers having a dumb mech battle in the middle of a public park will not require the same amount of responding power as a group of highly advanced corporate mercs wielding the latest in military gear. You also have to deal with funding and public image; You might spend a lot of money to buy the latest gear but if you accidentally crush too many cars or blow a 37 mm size hole in someone's house, then the press will have a field day and there's going to be protests.

Also Company of Heroes; The Liberation of the Philippines. Most World War 2 games set in the PTO deal with the various island battles and while those are interesting, the Philippines offers just a bit more variety. The battle of Manilla was one of the few urban engagements the US military had with the Imperial Japanese. There can be a mission where you have to defend against Operation Te, a Japanese airborne drop that tried to capture a couple of airfields. Liberating POW camps etc. All good stuff. And you could get Burmese DLC where you can play as the Commonwealth or China (even though the Chinese front can be an entire game in of itself)
