Why do we have fog of war games?

Post by waerth »

I am really getting fed up with this. This is the third game in a short period of time where a player tells the people in the game chat exactly where I have my stack of troops. Hex number and number of troops.

Why on earth do people play Fog of War games if they are going to do this kind of shit.

And the worst thing is I have already lost that particular, it was just a little surprise for the end. :evil:

The Tao of Fog of War

Fog of War simulates the fact that in real war, knowledge isn't perfect, and you don't always know what the enemy is up to.

People talking about your position simulates the fact that in real war, Fog of War isn't perfect, and you have spies and scouts to tell you about at least some of what the enemy is up to.

People lying when they talk about your position simulates the fact that in real war, spies and scouts aren't perfect, and often bring back false information.

Wheels withing wheels, and each iteration brings you closer to appreciating real war.

Note that this is NOT against the rules, but could be viewed as bad gameplay by some. FAMO if you do not like the people that do this.
