[Freeciv-Dev] Re: Bombers dying (PR#1532)

["Ross W. Wetmore" <rwetmore@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suspect it is not so much leaving the city that is the problem,
but moving out of fuel range.

Personally, I'd like it if a dialog popped up when I attempted to
move out of fuel range. After I dismissed it (and not by an auto-
repeat move), I could continue on my suicide mission.

This could be an optional preference (i.e. triggering a dialog 
action), so those that like to find out this the hard way can
lose units without being bothered by the alerts.

Cheers,
RossW
