I lost interest in Scenarios years ago. My main beef was that it seemed more like re-enacting a WWII battle than simulating one. You knew how many enemy planes you would encounter, and what type. That eliminates a lot of the suspense. Also, you had a good idea where you would encounter the enemy. The whole thing feels pre-scripted.

No, I don't have a better idea of how to create one, just saying that knowing too much about how the coming battle will unfold eventually makes the idea of flying a Scenario less attractive.

Read the event description on Rangoon, ra.

This one is more like what you descrcibe. You won't know precisely the opposing force - and there is ongoing attrition so things get fogier as time progresses.

Sides are balanced to represent the tactical and operational situation more than precise orders of battle. Which is also to say that unlilke a re-enactment, here it's not obvious who will win.

It's also a very constrained battle - one target area only. But lots of room to manouever, forward re-arm fields, all kinds of interesting tactical elements.
