Status: offline 		If you guys are playing the game without "show enemy hexs" your missing alot of info. I never play without it on. You really need to know which hexs you control during each move...

I have also determined that of all the hot keys, this is the most valuable - it answers most of the encirclement questions, and is essential for planning moves.

While we're at it, I would add the "r" hotkey and the shading in light grey that it puts from a railhead to over the 10 hexes/25 MPs and dark grey over the 25 hexes/100 MPs is very useful too.

Status: offline 		Not really sure what you mean Carnage. Theres two FOW's. All "show enemy hexs" does is show controlled hexs. I do know that your ZOC's won't extend into hexes if theres another unit that you dont see. I figure its the unit recon that spots something there...
