It would be nice if a warning (like the "you have new messages since your last visit") appeared for games where you were more squares away from your side of the board than you had fuel left to cover.

I keep forgetting it and finding I'm out of fuel - so maybe just a basic warning if you get to less than 10 fuel left.

It would make it harder to make a silly mistake
Then it would be a choice, go for the kill - risky as I know I will run out of fuel, or turn back now and let him escape but get home safe(ish).


That would simulate a GPS that computes your fuel expected consumption...

...they didn't even have fuel gauges at all!

For me, I developed am instinct that makes me look at fuel when I'm near red zone. Not infallible, but works most of time. I suggest you start doing that.


WWI planes did have fuel guages.

I regularly check my fuel status as a part of every turn, just like I check my damage and the previous moves of potential targets (or those targeting me). It is simply a part of my routine for every turn.

I have to admit, though, that I have sometimes gotten caught up in the thrill of the chase and found myself on the wrong side of the board with too little fuel to make it back to my side...
