"It could work something like 20 or 30 planes leave the same base a 2 C47's would take off 1 with ammo and 1 with fuel to resupply that base, base in mean time limited to 75% fuel and 75% ammo per plane. Now 20 or 30 planes take off again and no supplies come yet drop another 25% and so on."
I like this idea, but also think trains and truck convoys would be better than C-47's. That way, there would be predictable areas along roadways/railways to atttack/defend, making it easier to find a fight. Throw in some bridges to blow up, too.
Maybe start with C-47's since we already have them, and wouldn't need to add roads/rails to the terrain. This might make it easier to try the idea out. Later, allow players to fly C-47's to resupply, in addition to drone trucks and trains.
Another twist on this basic idea would be to fully arm/fuel any plane safely landed at a forward field, no matter what the state of supply. This would add the fabled "Reason to Survive" to the game.
Extending that idea, allow NEW planes for "Aces" to be fully armed/fueled at forward fields, regardless of the supply state of the field. An "Ace" would be anyone with a kill streak of X kills. This would add a "Reward for Success", beyond score or ranking, to the game.
