I can't think of the names of any at the moment, but bookwise (that's
not a
common read) try:
"The Dragon Never Sleeps" by Glen Cook
http://www.xmission.com/~shpshftr/GC/Books/DrgnSlps.html
http://www.kentaurus.com/dragon.htm

About halfway through the book, there's a good account of an ambush
(which
was expected).	
3 Guardships (translation: DeathStar equivalent) went in, only 1 1/2
came
out.  I really want to do this as a scenario, but the attacker would get
disheartened after the first 10,000 points was blown away...
