FOW Button
What is the FOW button on the toolbar in the vassal module - it is just a random 1-10 number generator?

Thanks - I hadn't read the optional rules as I'm still learning the base game.   Good to know!

RE: FOW Button
Tmo, you'll find most veteran PG players in agreement that Fog of War should be a core rule rather than optional.

Omitting it allows a player to leave demoralized units until the very end of the turn and then spend multiple activations on "rally cleanup" because they can be sure that every single unit will get a chance to activate each turn.

Including it forces the player to make difficult decisions about action priority.

It's worth using. Smile

Good to know.  I plan on some PBEM Vassal games once I graduate from the Academy!
