I am looking for a very specific kind of game.
What I want is something like Age of Empires/Warcraft that kind of thing, but without the building a base, gathering resources and so forth.
I just want a strategy game, where I have x amount of units and then I must decide where to put them...


The other thing is, I am on mac...

It is a bit old....... but what about Commando's?
Although I don't know if it will run on a Mac or not.
 
IIRC Company Of Heroes works on mac

Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far.

Ancient but my fav strategy game

i think the Total War series deserves a mention here .......also turn based - have to control city development and recruiting (but there is an auto option) and the battles are quite epic and strategic. i thing try rome total war or napolean total war its what you want

quite old, but you can try Sudden Strike or Desert Rats.

Set in WWII, you have your units and assault towns \ countries and stuff

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_Strike
 
You want Warhammer - Mark of Choas

"focusing on the armies and battles while de-emphasizing the tedious aspects of base and resource management".

and its warhammer, the grandfather of fantasy :)


ooops no maC :(

Great game

Or Blitzkrieg, basically a bettered Sudden Strike. No clue what's available on the Mac though.

It's funny how some are suggesting games that are about building your base and pumping out units (well at least in most SP missions). Clearly you haven't read the original post correctly or you don't know anything about the games you are suggesting.
 
Battlefront.com games
Paradox games (Hearts of Iron etc..)
Matrix Games
Jagged alliance 2
Panzer General / Fantasy General
COdename Panzers
Soldiers HEroes of world war 2

etc.....
