Personally I have made alot of kills after both my opponent and my engines were gone. I would hate to only have 3 turns to try and gain position.

I am the first to admit I am not a historian. But I would find it hard to believe that any pilot who found his fuel or engine an issue would stay for any substantial period of time to complete a dogfight. Get the hell outta there comes to mind.

As far as this game goes...I too have made kills and even won games gliding around. Either I was on the other side of the board and had to make my way home or I had enough allies to divert attention from me. Luck has been on my side and against me. I do understand this is a game and winning is good. The odds of winning gliding around are against you unless your opponent is in the same position. Then it's turned into (in my opinion) a waste of time; a lot of ring-around-the-rosie. Now it's a question of the leaderboard.

Three turns, I'll also go for 5 turns, is fair. Especially if you have a opponent who makes 50 moves in a year. Keep the games moving.
