Limited Fuel

What can a heavy like a Tiger with half a tank of fuel do, I suppose?

I'd really like to have limited fuel in this game.

As said before this is a tactical game of a few hours single day battle,not a strategic where may be days perhaps, and many battles for an outcome.
Once you understand that, then you will see the is no need for limited fuel here.

One other suggestion is to set it to low repair on campaigns, If can't you repair a particular AFV APC ect.,then consider it not refueled also, and then just move them off-map asap on next battle.

The fuel is an operational or tactical concerns

I suppose that it's quite difficult to add fuel spending "meter" into every tank/apc/lorry etc. in this game (I mean new code to game)? Impossible?

It's not going to happen

A very famous person I just finished reading wrote the following on his precepts of war taken from Chapter 7 titled Maneuvering; Item 11. " We may take it then that an army without its baggage-train is lost; without provisions it is lost; without bases of supply it is lost." . I feel it safe to say our "General" in the game on both sides have read from this person and others so they have insured we are ready for combat before each encounter. What happens after that is up to us. If you were the " General" wouldn't you do the same for your subordinates before facing the enemy? That's what the game is doing timescale and all other issues aside. You are prepared to fight, how you fight and whether you win or lose is still up to you. That's the bottom line game world real world. One battle at a time during one campaign long or short. Unless counter attacking; fight, refit and fight again. Maneuver is difficult or at least time consuming enough in preserving your equipment and meeting your operational goals by battles end. I like my commanding "General" in meeting my logistical needs before we cross the " line of demarkation" and not to let him or her down I make sure to abide by the above precept as well on the battlefield. I just wish we could do the same for AI down the road on the option of battlefield logistics.

Only guessing, but in some of the large and very large scenarios, I might even say something like a tiger, or any large and heavy vehicle, may not even make it across the map without re-fuelling.

I've got no evidence for this, but there should be option to edit limited fuel. I'd even ask for such a feature to be added.

The widest map in the game is 160 hexes which is 8km ....... EIGHT KILOMETRES .....which would hardy move the fuel gauge in even the heaviest tank

There WILL NOT BE a "limited fuel" option for this game. It serves NO PURPOSE but to over complicate game play and create an enormous amount of work as each vehicle in the game would need it's range calculated and entered into MOBHack so the game could use it and the database that MOBHack uses is full so even if we thought this was a great idea worthy of hundreds of hours of programing and data base entry time.....which we don't..... there is no place to add it
