In a regular PBM, you know there's a thing in that hex because the turn result told you. In a game like this, there could be information that you didn't know you had access to until you looked for it.
In other words; in a regular PBM, you have info that players have, and info that the server has. In this scenario, there could be server info, player info, and info that the player's computer has that they may or may not know... This is very interesting to me.
I don't know ... I can see that being used to behave something like a fog of war, but I think I'd at least restrict it to minor information. If a major situation developed that a player just didn't notice, I can see that causing some really hard feelings, regardless of how realistic or chaotic it might be.
