Just an FYI sideline since GV's were talked about earlier in the thread. I have a plan for a GV battle with objectives that does not (but can) include a base capture. I developed and tried out this and some other ideas when I was running the Tank Club ages ago and intending to eventually create a more involved and enjoyable GV-based scenario.
Simplified description, you need a location on a map with a large (or several fairly close together) city or factory complex. This provides the offensive mission objective for the aggressor-side. They are assigned a mix of destroyer type GV's (ostwinds, wirblewinds, M4's with rockets, M3 and LVT with howitzers) whose purpose is the destruction of city/factory objects. They have a attached group of escort battle tanks for mission defense. The have a choice of spawns to come out of and must travel to their target objective.
The defensive-side, has a very small number of spotter aircraft and high-speed scout GV's (M3, Jeep, etc.) to recon the enemy column(s) approach to the target. At a certain time point in the frame, they can spawn small tank groups to interdict the incoming offensive before they can get close enough to the target city, where the destroyer GV's ONLY may take down buildings, etc. No MBT's may destroy any city objects and are only for column defense.
Just an idea for the future that can be used as part of a standard air campaign, or a basically GV-only scenario.
