[Dog Soldier]

Looking or not looking before playing a new scenario is something the players should agree on before the game starts. There is no right or wrong. Novice players may need to look, esp. if the purpose of the game is to learn. Experienced players prefer the double blind trust format as it tests their skills more, thus increasing enjoyment.
It really depends on the purpose of the game.

Uncertainty is something that comes right after the opening moves. Most scenarios that are considered the best for H2H play involve mobile situations where players can use the start forces in new and novel ways.

Campaign games lend themselves to this FOW phenomena better than the shorter scenarios since there is more time (total turns) to develop an unorthodox approach.

Shorter scenarios, 2 -3 day battles are pretty straight forward in the strategic sense, but allow for more focus on the tactics and force abilities. These shorter games are great forums to sharpen your tactical skills and learn how to control different forces at different periods of the war. 1944 tactics do not work well in games like F40 or M41.
