I’m not a board gamer, though I was as a kid with Avalon Hill stuff. But once computer wargames came out, as poor as the AI used to be, I jumped on them for a simple reason: fog of war. I play pretty exclusively single player.
For someone who doesn’t board wargame, how to you get around the lack of fog of war? I can only get ambushed by pretending I don’t those those units are hidden and waiting for me. In a naval game, where so much is the cat and mouse of the search, how do you pretend to not know the enemy CV is NW and I need to send my search planes there? And so on?
