For a while, standard units had a value of 6, some were worth 3, some more. Henry Cobb's calculators were based on this. Looking at the beta copy of the 6e rules, it looks like we're going back to the simpler, unit based armor points. Units are typically worth 1 armor point. Light GEVs and Light Tanks are worth 1/2 armor points, SHVY (super heavy tank), HWZ (howitzer), and MHWZ (mobile howitzer) are worth 2 points, and Cruise Missile Crawlers are 3 points.
In a scenario, you will typically given an amount of armor units and can then select units until your budget is met.
A copy of the draft rules for 6e can be found in a link in Ogre Kickstarter update 22.
