Comments on your video, to answer your questions:
1. That's a good idea to add a Task Box marker! Thank you! When the MAG-14 expansion game is published later this year, I'll include that.
2. You are correct about the Fuel question. It is always one drum of Fuel per plane flying unless on a CAP or on a Long Range Interception (Air Mission), to recap the rules as written -- it is a good question, however, since it is not explicitly addressed, though it isn't an exception to the rules.

I'm 30 minutes into the video and thought I would type my thoughts...
I saw that you bombed the Destroyers with everything you had in the first Task Box rather than waiting until the last Task Box where you may finally bomb the Transports. That is a decision you can make. I suppose your plan might to just hammer a couple of Destroyers, then break off and head home.... Doing it that way, you could get a win for the day too. I'll watch to see how you handle this and address that in the next message. This just shows that, as simple as the Task Box-based rules are, there are many different approaches for how to address the challenges you face. Overall, you're making really good decisions so far.
Ok, before I sent this, I saw that you did exactly that -- you hammered a Destroyer for some VPs, then broke off. Tango got a bombing score -- so he's on the way to becoming an ace bomber.... Nice job. Solid decision making!

The main reason I hit the Destroyers with everything I had right off the jump was the inexperience of the pilots. I didn't want to hang around for longer than necessary when AA could easily hack them out of the sky. With more experience, I might let the squadron hunt a bit more, but for now, I figured the early hit and break was probably a smarter idea.

@@PhoenixKnight08 -- Quite good judgment. Well done!
