Of course.

Reasonable enough.

We did have one dogfight that started in our game on Sunday. I say it 
_started because when the 3" radius nuke went off an inch away it took 
all of the fighters with it. Awwww.

I guess you could allow dogfights to be declared if they end within 3" 
or less, then move 'em all into contact for the actual dogfight. That
way such accidental nukes won't end up taking out one side and not the 
other.
