That's another enhancement, but I agree that is needed. IMO, the replay should just include the current turn. Bombshell splash damage into the FoW is the most frustrating because you only see that for a fraction of a second. Unlike my proposal in this thread which may be a bit controversial, this improvement seems like everybody would agree with.

Yep, that sounds about the same as my first post in this thread. It has the same issues: results of attacks into the FoW or on thorns are not clear. Or were you proposing no attacks in this mode?

If you move a unit up to an enemy in the FoW, then you'd have to clear the FoW first to see it, and then you can attack it.

Attacking anything requires clearing the FoW.

"Clearing FoW" means committing to what you've done up to that point, right? So no attacks into FoW while in dry-run/frozen-FoW/undoable mode. That would work,but eliminate some planning (when you know or are fairly confident what is there). This also includes bombshell splash damage into the FoW. Thorn attacks with possible child thorns visible would not be allowed, right? I assume moving into the FoW would not be allowed either. Anything without an obvious result would not be allowed? That would simplify, but limit usefulness. Still a good enhancement.

I think you are also suggesting starting in a dry-run mode. I'd be ok with that, but you'll probably see backlash because it changes how people play now. I guess it could be a non-default option.
