Some good points. But how was all of this knowledge gotten? Spys, defections, etc. The Brits before Waterloo knew the entire composition of the French army because of a spy in Paris, and defecting generals.
But the question is, are we satisfied letting FoW being just part of the game, or do we want to let the players control that mechanism. Right now FoW is like a battle without letting the players pick chits. Chit picks allow the players to somewhat control their destiny. And a mitigated FoW would allow the same thing.
Even if none of this comes to pass, I'm pretty sure most of us will love the game, but these options should absolutely be framed out, and some of them should be coded and playtested for final consideration.
