However, if one or more a/c engage offensive they tend to pursue the enemy a/c for ever (unless they shoot it down of course) which, more often than not, results in fuel problems if one forgets to micromanage. Should not the range work as an outer limit for prosecution as well?

Have you adjusted the fuel state, Preplanned ROE for the side, mission, or unit? If everything is working, it's a one-and-done setting to catch the edge cases.
