RE: Who does FoW Favor

I think it favors the side with the initiative advantage. In reality what we're talking about is Fog of War being rolled early in the turn and many activations going unused. When Fog of War comes late it's almost the same as not happening at all.

But if it comes early, the side with the higher initiative is always going to benefit because their high value / high risk units are going to be able to activate more often while the lower initiative side is prevented from bringing numbers to bear by lack of activations.

At least that's how it makes sense in my brain...
