Do you want a game or IRL? BE CARFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR! Those of us who have played dozens of games with 6 �friends� (more like 7 or 8 as people drop), would like a �straight� port. I know FOW is a good thing and makes the game more interesting. Keep in mind that some of the Field commanders didn�t know what they had when the battle started. If you really want the FOW of the PERIOD keep the following in period things in mind:

I�m sorry; I had no specific orders so I couldn�t march to the sound of the GUNS.

I�m sorry which goat path.

I have three sets of orders on where to concentrate. Which ones did you think you wanted me to follow.

We got blown off course.

Napoleon, Wellington had to PERSONNALLY review the troops so he under stood there condition and number. I mean if you REALLY want FOW, than what corps and there strength and moral, should be determined at the point of contact. I mean should you really know what is in the ARMY or NAVY that you think you are committing to battle let alone what the enemy/ally think they can get committed. Charles was constantly plagued by troops that couldn�t or wouldn�t engage.

IRL the CORP/FLEET you think you have in an area and weather it will or will not be in an engagement is not the same as the one you do have. The game makes certain assumptions. Some of US who have played the game like assumptions the board game put in place |<:)
