There are perhaps 30 workable CGs in existence for ASL. Workable meaning that they are functional, balanced and fun. It seems a lot but there are stacks of battles not covered by the CG system. How about taking an existing CG and adapting it to another battle? For example if you are craving to play a Japanese and Chinese urban CG then why not take a CG like RBCGIII and use the template of the CG and the map for your Japanese/Chinese battle.
You would need to change the OOB; replacing Japanese units for the Germans and Chinese units for the Russians, but otherwise much of RBCGIII could remain the same. Like the CG dates, the CPP, the VC, marking the perimeter, the refit phase etc.
I've already tried this idea with a late war battle between attacking Russians and defending Germans using the RBCGIII template and map. It works fine and is a really enjoyable experience.
Other possible ideas are using the KGP CG templates for a late war clash between Russians and Germans in Hungary. The possibilities are numerous and interesting to consider. Obviously if you are playing an opponent then the two of you would need to iron out the modifications thoroughly. It might be difficult to do as a joint enterprise unless you know your opponent very well. But it is very suited to solo play.
