Mid War - Twin River Map or Tunisia:
3 layers of bases
1st layer, Mc.202 and 109F4, 109G2, 110C4 vs. P-40, Spit V, Hurricane IId and IIc.
2nd layer, Mc.205 and 109G6, 110G2 vs. P-38G, P-47D-11 and Spit VIII (or IX)
3rd layer, Fiat G.55 (kidding!
) and Fw-190A5/A8 vs. P47D-25 and P-38J (the A8 is a bit out of time line, but so is the 38J - balance).
Using the same premise as last week's mission, capture the Vbase on the opposite side of the river. The difference here is this: the better aircraft are farther away, allowing time to climb out. +1. It takes longer to bring these aircraft into play -1. So...its balanced. Bombers available at all bases - JU-88, Ju-87, and B-25, Bostons. GVs - Panzer, 251, M4 and M3. No anti-aircraft GVs. Historically, production of the M16 began in May of '43, right around the time this scenario should be taking place. Wirbles and Ostis never made it to North Africa.

Bodenplatte - Germany map
January 1945
Reference: Operation Bodenplatte, by John Mahnro
While the actual operation was a debacle for the Luftwaffe - here it could be interesting. Limit aircraft types to particular bases on the Allied side (since that's historical and there were more varieties to choose from). Base ack should be reduced, in the event the Germans actually get to the bases to start taking down ord, dar, etc.
Phase I - P-47s run headlong into Fw-190A-8s, Bf-109G-14s at low altitude. As pilots are shot down, they move into Phase II aircraft and launch at pre-determined times...
Phase II - P-51s, Spitfire XIV (can we unperk them?) and Typhoons versus Fw-109D-9s and Bf-109K-4s (or they can retain their 109s)
Phase III - end the evening with a free-for-all

Race for the base - Germany '45
Germany map
Reference: Last Days of the Luftwaffe, Albert Price
Bf109G-14s and K4s versus La-5, La-7, Yak 9s, IL-2
Armor - Panzers, Tiger (if we can unperk), WW, Osti, vs. T-34/85, M3, M16
Scenario - Russians are advancing on German airfield with armor. German fighters attempt to counter armor while German armor races in from another direction. End result is a fight over the town. An element I'm leaving out of the scenario would be the movement of a group of ground vehicles (aka, the retreat from the Russians), but I doubt anyone would want to roll an empty 251 from one place to another just to achieve a goal.

Eastern Front - 1943
Bf-109G-6 and Fw-190A5 versus La-5, P-39
Panzers, 251 vs. T-34/76, M3
Ju-88 versus Boston
This is where 3 sides can effectively work. Rook=German, Knight= Russian, Bish side, a neutral town in the middle. First to capture the neutral town wins. Ack shoots at everyone!
These are just some ideas - if anyone is interested in hashing them out further, lemme know.
