please, if you don't mind, add to the list of strategies for fog of war games
add anything that you think is relevant or will help people play FOW games better.
some of the things that i like to do is check the game log.. you can tell A LOT about the game from reading the log even if you can only see a few places.
some things you can read from the log;
1) how many countries each player has, both from how much they get for bonus and how many countries they've captured/lost. Also a good way to tell who's fighting who.
2) what bonus each player is getting. you can also use #1 with this in finding out if someones bonus has been broken so you don't needlessly waste armies.
3) if a player just lost a whole bunch of countries because someone was trying to take their cards but missed one player you can count how many they lost against how many they had and possibly know where those last few men are hiding. works great for esc games.
4)....... and this is where you add your own strategies for finding out what other players are up to and possible strategies like sitting and waiting, adding armies to hidden countries, and such and such.
if we get a whole big list it would be awesome to sticky it, but i know some people don't like to reveal their secrets.
