[Rules] Fog of War modifier

Fog of War modifier
I remember a +1 modifier to Fog of War checks in activation segments when a player chose to pass. I seem to be having trouble finding the reference to the rule. Does anyone else remember something like that? Where is it found?

I know it was in Guadalcanal, and sometimes it's scenario specific in other places. I don't think it actually appears as part of the main rule set.

I suspect that you are thinking of Battle of the Bulge.  To cite:

"If a player passes, modify his or her result (on 3d6) by +2.  Modify the die roll by +1 if a night turn (visibility is 1 hex)."

I checked also vs. Eastern Front & Beyond Normandy, two other older games, and they do not included the "pass" sentence. 

Ah, Afrika Korps has:

"If a player passes, add two to his or her total (die roll)."

I think Matt and I developed a game or supplement with such a modifier and that it was one of Philippe's design .Maybe Dunkirk or La Campagne de Tunisie.

I'm on the road, so don't have rule sets with me, but there was a game-specific one in either LCdT or Army at Dawn.....I believe in it was in La Campagne de Tunisie.

In game theory terms, I believe Panzer Grenadier must be related to Fizzbin and CalvinballConfused

With the notable and often tedious exception of chess, I believe that is correct for any wargame or game system.

I prefer thinking of obscure rules in some of the supplements as attempts by the designers to influence change or improve AP's PG rules. Like three player chess.

RE: Fog of War modifier
The only standard change is the night addition of +1

Initially I played with the +1 on all passes but those who noted above that the additions are game specific are correct.
No "minor" country left behind...
