I'd invite ya but your cooler than me.

If your having trouble with fog just play 1 v 1 on maps you know or team games against just one other team. Keep track of logs and stats. No biggy. Do it no spoils until you feel you comfortable with fog.

I asked this question a while back. Some people gave some good insight here and there.

The biggest improvement I have seen in my own foggy games has been through the use of snapshots, and analyzing the log much more closely.

It's important to consider what your opponent can see of you. Keep in mind that is always different for different opponents. If you can leave 3s on your borders early in the game, your opponents won't know where you're dropping and attacking from, or where you're building up.

There are other map-specific keys to fog that are always good to keep in mind.

For example, on Waterloo, if you control all the artillery, you can see the whole map (except for one section) and no one else will be able to see the whole map.

Thank you, I will look at that link :)
I guess the best way to learn would be practicing.. so I'm gonna start up a few games :P
