Fog of war: the Oct 7, 2026 update

Highlights

You only see what your units see
Fog of war is here: you only see what your units can see. Unseen ground turns a cool grey-blue under a drifting mist, so you can still read the terrain and who owns which building, but not where the enemy is
One switch in Skirmish
Turn on Fog of war in Skirmish house rules, against the CPU or a friend on the same screen
No peeking
Hotseat games cover the board between turns so nobody can peek
Night Drop by torchlight
Night Drop (The Longest Beach, mission 2) now plays at night, by torchlight: warm pools of light around your troops and dark blue night everywhere else. The anti-air guns, the river sentry and the day-2 tanks stay hidden until you get close

Fog of war is here: you only see what your units can see. Unseen ground turns a cool grey-blue under a drifting mist, so you can still read the terrain and who owns which building, but not where the enemy is
Forests and reefs hide units unless an enemy is right next to them, and infantry on mountains see much further
Ambush! Run into a hidden enemy and your unit stops short, with no action left
Moves into unknown ground are final: you see what you found before choosing to attack, wait or capture
Enemy funds stay secret, and transports only show how many units they carry
Last-seen markers show where you last spotted enemy units (you can turn them off in Settings)

Turn on Fog of war in Skirmish house rules, against the CPU or a friend on the same screen
Hotseat games cover the board between turns so nobody can peek
Online rooms have a Fog of war switch too, with a fog badge and filter in the lobby. Each player's game only ever receives what they can see, and spectators watch at least a round behind
Fog works in daily games and replays too: replays let you switch between each player's view
Fog games are unrated for now

Night Drop (The Longest Beach, mission 2) now plays at night, by torchlight: warm pools of light around your troops and dark blue night everywhere else. The anti-air guns, the river sentry and the day-2 tanks stay hidden until you get close

The CPU plays by the same rules: it only sees what its own units see and never cheats. Harder CPUs remember where they last saw you and scout more
