[WarInEur] Variable reporting with FOW

[Terry Shaw]

The rule we used for BWIE was that you could look at every counter in the
hex only if you were adjacent to it.

For the rest of the map you could see what the top counter was, but not what
was under it.

It could easily be implemented in CWIE.

This has always been a satisfactory FOW to me - The enemy could see a build
up of units but not their composition. 

It would certainly give some added value to the currently pretty worthless
armoured brigades.

 

Implementing FOW in this way would have the added benefit of maintaining
compatibility between CWIE and BWIE

 

I remember a particular incident where the Russians sneaked a number of
artillery corps up to the 2nd line hidden under 3-5's.  It came as quite a
shock to find his attacks were adding 40-60pts to their combat strength the
following move.
