Is there any FOW on the location of enemy units which can be seen on the map. At the moment, I assume, you get an incomplete picture of enemy dispositions but with the locations of units you can see being accurate. There should be FOW on location as well, which should become greater with distance from the front.

Veers, really, there's no need for all those spiteful remarks, a constructive message would have been far more helpful

Spiteful? I love you guys, how'd you get spiteful out of my remarks? It's all in good fun. Did ya not even read my follow-on response?

well, i was just under the impression that there is a focus on air cambat results fog of war, while ignoring other possible sources for fog of war, e.g. land combat results, so "the thrust of my questions" was towards the justification why so much focus on air combat while disregarding other aspects, e.g. land combat, supply

I think the simple answer to that question is that Norm served in the Air Force, so his personal experiences therein, bear out in certain aspects of the game. Designer's perogative, I guess...[;)]

That's a good idea, even if not really feasible for TOAW III. Maybe something in the future...

Ahh...the joys of internet (mis)communications...[:D]

Since the two of you are normally chipper and helpful, I'll assume that you'll work out things on your own, without a call for kisses, hugs and handshakes...[:'(]

*skips the handshakes and goes in for the kisses and hugs!!!

..ok, next patch...
 
..an automatic save (without having to reload.......) after every combat round..
 
..and a message that says " this game was reloaded from combat round x, y times" if you've just soo gotta do an anti-cheat thing..
 
..yahh, he really likes the combat rounds...

So, what is the thrust of your questions? Is it "Why don't we have more Fog of War?" Or, is it "Why have Fog of War at all, since it is not totally implemented?"

..more Fog-of-War..

..more Fog-of-War..

..more sensual native beauties...sorry, i was distracted..[8D]

Why?

keystroke monitor of the enemy? ok that was silly! If you don't trust folks, do not play with them!
as for fow, I do think we see way too much info on the enemy re their supply and proficieny etc. maybe a setting or toggle to switch to uber fog, shows us the type of unit and the nationality and a guess at the size and quality?
