hi all
not having played the original board game or read the rules, so not sure if there is or was a limit of ammo.
This posting from Just4Fun was the only one i could find,(must admit i didnt look that hard)with any regard to amounts of ammo.
so, to get to the point, now we have long and short bursts, will there be a limit of ammo added to the game. as it does seem a little strange that our wonderful planes never run out of bullets.

The original game gave gunners four magazines of five "boxes" each. A short burts used one box, a medium two, and a long three. One turn was required to reload an empty gun. This all applied to all fighter aircraft equipped with magazine fed guns (ex. the S.E.5a).
According to the authors, a game represented only one to two minutes of real time combat, so they decided that tracking ammunition expenditure for the forward belt-fed guns wasn't required.
