Fog of War

"Fog of War" refers to the uncertainty and lack of complete information experienced during military operations or strategic decision-making. It means that commanders or players can only see parts of the battlefield or situation at any given time, making it challenging to know where the enemy is or what they are doing. This concept highlights the unpredictable nature of conflicts, emphasizing the importance of planning, adaptability, and cautious decision-making when full knowledge isn’t available. It is widely used in military, gaming, and strategic contexts to describe the hidden, unpredictable elements of warfare.
