This is after all a board game and should be played for enjoyment and not just to engender frustration and force actions that would not likely otherwise occur in one's opening few activations. Those oft-maligned, block-style wargames have an advantage in terms of FOW as one cannot readily see -- and/or remember the composition of the units you are facing until contact is made.

I don't use it either. There is a point in the game where I'll quit earlier if it looks like there is no hope of a side winning towards the end of a scenario but many times, I just play it through anyway to see the actual results.

Playing mostly solitaire, I never use the Hidden rules either.
