I place a small D6 with each group to represent their endurace and all
my fighters are 1 to 1 and are removable so I just remove the models as
they get killed. My logistics are pretty easy, but then my fighters are
pretty expensive.

Only with the over running of fighters. But then we only allow what you
have models for so fighters are limited. I only have about 4-6 dozen.

What I think might be better is a laugh bay and a hanger bay. This would
limit the number of fighters you can launch at a time but give you an
advantage in numbers per mass. Sorta like SMRs.
