This isn't just an issue of convenience. If the turn ends early, you can find all your air units in "rest" for the duration of the enemy player turn. That means spending the enemy turn without air support, even if you have air supremacy. It's similar to the issue that wishlist item 7.12.2 tries to address.
This is incorrect. Air units that are forced into into rest by the engine, during the player turn, will return to previously assigned missions. This happens during the next ABP, if the air units readiness is high enough. If you have evidence contrary to this, please provide a test scenario and instruction set to demonstrate otherwise.

I'll have spotty internet availability over the next few days. My mother suffered a stroke and is in the hospital, so I'll be a bit pre-occupied.

Adam,

If you'd like to use your scenario as a test bed, please put it into a zipped folder and attach it to one of your posts. An instruction set for duplicating your results would be needed, as well. You can either put it into your post's message body or include it in the zip file as a separate text file. Let us know which side should be observed, what types of actions you set for the units, etc.

Well, that's the kind of answer I'm looking for; I'll keep missing around with it for awhile, and if it persists, I'll let you know! If it doesn't persist, then great; problem solved!

This is what I said, if you had read my full post. [:'(]

Dude, seriously, could you stop spamming us with your immature BS?

Funny, it took up less space than your repsonse to it. :D
@ the King of Canada , I like the new pic and keep up the smiley faces. This kid has accused you of immature BS which pretty ironic when you read his or anybody’s posts. The King simply reminds us that we are all full of **** and some people take themselves way too seriously.

Exactly.

Right again. Chalk up another one for 'The King'. [;)]

Extremely sorry to hear about this, James. My prayers go out that she has a speedy and full recovery.

Not. [8|] Besides, I'm not saying I believe Jamiam, I'm just being polite and dropping the subject for now.

Uh-huh; a whole paragraph of nothing but [:D] takes up less space than a brief "Please stop spamming." Damn, you sure are a clever one.

Ah, on my screen it just went left on the screen and didn't fill up much verticle space.
In that case, I appoligise to everyone, but you, of course. [:D]

I refuse to be upset about the suffering of domestic animals. They taste too good for that.

I was actually a little suprised that someone could draw that conclusion. However, I'm aware that wolflars wasn't trying to insult me. In fact his remarks weren't aimed at me at all.

Heh heh. Yeah, pretty obvious where those comments were aimed. [:D]

I worked on midwest dairy farms for several years; so I think I know what I'm talking about when I describe them as appalling concentration/death camps. Anyways, I'm quite content to support the organic farm movement, and I'm not at all ashamed to admit that I think industrial farming is highly immoral and unhealthy.


..immoral is fine but unhealthy ? for who, please clarify..

..as to "
appalling concentration/death camps
, assuming that you're not just using emotive language, then i must assume that you took photos and passed these , along with sworn statments to the local animal welfare people, the Police, and the Dept of Agriculture for the county and assured yourself of the prosecution of the people involved with such bad husbandry practises ?

..however none of your post actually adresses my proposition, and i look forward to a reply that's at least somewhere in the right area, as i'm curently setting up a 0-grazing milk-goat unit, to provide milk for my local tribal people, to educate them in how, and to set up an upland cheese production unit. If i am technically in error with this approach, i should like to know before i go too far..
