Fog of war anyone? Poll

I use FOW "on", all the time.  The only time you may not want to use it is in a "training game" with someone brand new to the series, who is getting coached/mentored by another person.  That way your coach can see what you are seeing.

I too, am a huge fan of the File Encryption option. As was stated earlier, it will prevent you or your opponent from opening the wrong turn by mistake which could very easily ruin your PBEM game that you already invested a ton of time into.

I can not recall how many times that feature has saved a game of mine, but over the years, it is alot.

Also, if your opponent sets up a game and sends you the first turn without it activated, you can activate it yourself.
