I just won a battle where I felt like the real winner was the larger allied fuel tank rather than the allied pilots. We had this problem with the board game too. While the extra operational radius of the allied models is probably historically correct, it doesn't take into account how the air war was being run. From what I've read, the german pilots were instructed to wait on their side of the lines for the allied planes to come to them. This would have probably negated this advantage of extra fuel.
I was wondering if players would be interested in having the option (and I stress option) to equalise fuel when creating an engagement.
dvdswnn,
You have, apparently unknowingly, reopened a major sore point on this forum. The fuel issue in Blue Max has been discussed / argued / fought over a number of times in the past. I would suggest you take a look at the two most recent threads at:
[BM][IDEAS] 30, 40, 50 of fuel

Making Fuel same for ALL in Blue Max. Serious thought here.
http://www.youplay.it/play/forum_showmessage.asp?msgid=32594
I think that this is a great idea, however, if the subject is pursued I believe you will find that;
1) There is almost no chance of such a change being implemented here.
2) It will only lead to an argument.
3) The discussion will devolve into those who try to apply historical evidence and logic to the issue, and those who just don't want the game to change.
