That really sucks.  Almost makes you think that the rules should be changed.  I mean really, it is too easy to have stuff like this "slip through the cracks" in KOTH.  Should the rules maybe change to make dead stick planes a part of the action?  It's obviously fair game to keep fighting to the death in the last 2 scenario.  Why not in the middle of the action?  However, I can see how it's cruddy to be shot down by someone that won't make a lick of difference in the round, but isn't KOTH supposed to be one of those "FFA, sorry-bout-ur-luck, u shoulda thought about that before, it's ur own fault, do what ya gotta do... kinda things?
