So you use Ethanol in civilian aircraft that can use it and can be converted like the Biafrans did ...

Anyway, scarcity of fuel isn't so much the problem as is how much of it you burn per mission.

The Mfi will, as noted, run on the smell of an oily rag ... that Hercules or F-16 not so much (even if there are any still operational).

How many mission equivalents would the Mfi manage compared to the F-16?

Heck of a lot. And desperation is the mother of invention, so to speak.

See ...

So I still contend that there will be a lot more airpower than the game allows for, just that it won't be those military (or civilian) fuel hogs.

The Russians, at least, have a tradition of doing such ... though they may not use women this time around. Could the allies afford to not have their own light attack bomber units?

I don't think so.

Phil
