I finally managed to deal with the scenario, which details & circumstances I had investigated for a long time. Not a total warfare, but I tried to do it as close to original event, as possible. At the same time, it should be interesting to play, so Georgia has all anti-ship missiles operational.
Here it is - I've posted it for beta-testing

Dare Enough, 2008

Georgia vs. Russia

Date: 9th August, 2008

Location: Coast of Abkhazia (Georgia), Black Sea

Playable Sides: Georgia

Introduction

The scenario recreates a skirmish, that occurred between Russian Black Sea Fleet and Georgian patrol boats during the Russo-Georgian War.

Two Russian large landing ships Caesar Kunikov and Saratov, escorted by a small missile ship Mirazh and small anti-submarine ship Suzdalets were proceeding along Abkhazian coast, in Georgian territorial waters, to disembark troops near Sukhumi.

At about 18:30 they were engaged by group of five Georgian fast attack crafts: small missile ships Dioskuria & Tbilisi, and three patrol boats of different classes.

Historical Outcome

Instead firing anti-ship missiles, Georgian fast attack crafts made an attempt of closing at maximum speed. After hailing the intruding units, Russian forces opened fire and sank one patrol boats (armed survey vessel Gantiadi) and damaged another one. Remaining Georgian forces withdrew to port Poti. Russian troops were succesfully disembarked on the night of 9 and 10 August. Small missile ships Dioskuria & Tbilisi and patrol boat P-203 were destroyed by Russians in port Poti 13-14th August, 2008, patrol boats Tbilisi & P-204 sortied from Poti to Batumi prior to arrival of Russian forces.

Important Notes

Despite of a bunch of facts available, there's contradictory information about number of attacking crafts (four or five), their titles and casualties, weapons, that were actually applied (anti-ship missiles, anti-air missiles, rocket artillery). Please, do not insist on "historical authenticity". The outcome of scenario depends on you.
Georgian naval forces seemed to use armed & modified survey vessel Gantiadi and auxiliary ship Yaroslavets in that raid. In the current scenario they were replaced with Kutaisi & P-203 patrol boats.
