I think for the sake of consistency, all fuses in the effect radius of a bomb should be destroyed-- after all, they are flammable. As it is now, they stay in place after the bombs explode and hang in mid air, as it were. It looks kind of weird.

That's deliberate - it allows for bombs starting used to light fuses that light other bombs. That's a puzzle element used quite a bit in JtRH, for instance. If it destroyed the fuse, then it wouldn't work.

(If you are looking for an explanation - fuses are flammable, but they are designed in such a way that they can only burn at a specified pace no matter how hot or sudden the fire. So, explosions light every section of the fuse, but it still takes one turn for each section to burn before it's fully gone).

Yeah, sorry Eytan. I badly phrased what I meant, and I later found out I had misunderstood something anyway. I meant they should get lit, what I didn't know is that they actually would get lit, but because I had died, the next turn on which they would have been lit just didn't occur. Quite stupid of me. Sorry for the confusing, superfluous post.
