I'd be much happier if the playtesters that post AARs evidenced any knowledge of the history (events, technology, tactics, 'typical' combat results, and so forth) of the period.

I will personally be sure not to post anymore alpha or beta information henceforth, so as not to post anything about the game that isn't 'perfect' yet, and to avoid having my knowledge of history questioned.

I thought Fog of War was going to be incorporated in WiTP.
As a tester, I usually dont have FOW on unless I am actually testing FOW, as it is better to look for errors if you can see both sides of the coin.

I for one love to read AAR's Alpha or Beta. So please dont stop posting them just because a few dont understand the testing process.

Actually, all you have to do is avoid snotty contentless remarks like the one C&G made to me, and then I won't have to jam them down your gullet.
Show me a fellow who rejects statistical analysis a priori and I'll show you a fellow who has no knowledge of statistics.

Didn't we have this conversation already?

Ah, I understand, Snigbert. Forgot about being able to turn it off and on. But I play with it on in UV 2.2 and I do hope FOW's more effective in WiTP (or UV 2.3, for that matter). Thanks for the reply.
