If anything, I think Ranma 1/2 is the wrong series to cross with a military
styled game like that. 

I would lean more in the direction of the following series where the
power-level of the characters gives them a believable chance of survival:
Tenchi Muyo

While Tenchi & Co. have strong powers, most of the cast is accustomed to
one-on-one fighting from what I've seen of the series.  I don't know how
well they would do against a Zerg swarm.  (Ryouko could handle herself, of
course.)

Iria

That would work well, I agree.

Dragonball Z

Uh... no.  You want armies destroyed, not planets.

Maybe if you used just Dragonball it would work, but once Radittz shows up
the power levels go nuts.

and I have to agree the BGC might be viable.

Teknoman/Tekkaman Blade would also be another viable series.

The problem with Ranma is that although the CHI-based attacks are powerful,
the CHI reserve isn't limitless. Even Ryouga tends to fall after a single
Shi-shi hokoudan, which tells me that although they could probably do
well... at first. They would quickly run out of energy... then die.

Also, the ki blasts that Ranma and Ryouga do tend to knock people about.
I don't think that they could actually kill with those attacks.  Perhaps
indirectly if you decide to ignore Takahashi-style physics.
