I'll tell a good quick house rule that will solve a lot of your problems - the
thing about medieval cities and landscapes is, they are just always covered in
mist and fog. They went for so many years sometimes between sunny days that
they actually ended up calling them the Dark Ages, from what I understand.
The point of all this is, when running a battle between flyers and knights,
you can claim that there is a thick low-lying fog, such that any unit at an
altitude higher than 10" has zero visibility and can only fire at targets if
there is a Scout targeting them. This forces any flyers that wish to engage
in combat to remain within range of archers and thrown objects (not a big
deal, since it takes a whole bunch of archers to shoot down an A-Wing), and
furthermore if you build nice tall trees, towers, and mountains, it becomes
difficult for the flyers to maneuver at attack alititudes.
Just an idea.
