One has to remember that cosims have very trict and complex rules that decide how to determine a battle outcome. You are always submitted to the probability tables, no matter which outcome you desire. With some discipline you can indeed learn to act in conformity with for example the expected strategic doctrine of Soviet forces rolling into Western Europe. The solitaire experience is much different with cosims, than with other kind of games.
There is no point in playing chess against yourself. With cosims, that is very different. And you can get surprised by the going of the action, yes, although you believe you know your planes for the other side.
