You might enjoy Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, although it's pretty shallow in most areas, you can configure the position and composition of your army's units and then watch the battle play out in real-time.
That's awesome (and I've seen other variations on this theme that were also very cool like Elaborate Spaceship Battles) but what I'm talking about looking for is exactly the opposite.
MechCommander 1/2 and the current BattleTech are kinda close since at least I only do the strategy between missions.
Note that Brood War's requirement for Macro -and- Micro play is also fun - too many RTS games let me win via Macro and then rolling over the enemy with effectively unlimited forces - but I really like tactical battles where the point of the game is the tactical side, because sometimes that's what I really want to spend my gaming time focusing on.
