RE: [Fog of War] - Large Scenarios
I do understand the statistical numbers for large and small scenario's, but it is my belief that FoW is suppose to be a cruel fate rather than a statistical normal. I fully understand that statistically defenders in large scenarios benefit a little more than attackers as well as FoW may not be relevant in small ones, but rather than try to smooth the curve, just don't use FoW in those situations if you feel it is too overwhelming to the scenario. Several years ago I had played the last scenario, the last on in Aachen. As usual I used FoW and the battle was severally limited by FoW. The average for the FoW was 10 activations. The Germans barely could get there troops moving, but I keep them going and surprisingly the did make it interesting but in the end did lose. I went back and played it a second time this time without FoW. The result was still an American win, but now the Germans could launch more assaults and get troops into battle, but the dice still had a cruel fate for the Germans and they still lost. Point being fate still rules in the game and FoW adds more of it.
