   I am working on my scenario for Lundys Lane (which was pretty much entirely fought at night) and I wanted some input on how to handle the night rules.

   The battle had a lot of visibility problems, especially when filled with smoke as well. I have re-enacted night battles and if there is no other light you are working on muzzle flashs only (and we counter marched through an enemy camp where they didn't recognise use as an enemy unit).

   I was thinking all command ranges are reduced to 6BW initially and that a unit that has fired or is being fired on has a visibility of musketry range.

   Thoughts?

   I'm not sure of a distance to give if nobody is shooting, but surely at night anybody with line of sight could see a unit that fired give away its position. Given the turn sequence, a unit will have an opportunity to move before the enemy gets a chance to do anything with that information though.

   I would also limit movement, adding a roll to cause randon oblique displacement in no-charge movement, as 1-2 45º left 5-6 45º right. Negated if following a road or water course.

   Randomizing movement allowance could be tryed , but it can be tricky and time consuming. I would probably forbid forward movement in line formation too.

   No voluntary oblique movement, or flank moves.

   For recovering purposes would treat all movement as maneuver (so no recovery attemp if moving) , and even considering all units as moved to recover purposes (thus complicating recovery)

   Reducing Command ranges from 10BW/6BW to 6BW/4BW should work in the right path too.

   For fire purposes, I would limit artillery to canister range, and probably have a DISC test in reaction phase , units that does not pass are forced to fire to the nearer valid target considering fiendly units in the fire zone as valid targets.

   Interpenetration at dark should allways cause 1 disr in each of the implied units.

   hi

   heres what i would do.
   all movement is reduced on the movent allowance table.

   All teams are in soft cover +1 to hit(consealment) doesnt (add) accumalate if you are in cover.
   so that is if your in cover its still only + 1 or 5 to hit.

   for each team that is shooting throw for them and consult this table to know how far they see.The higher dice score will only affect rifles and cannon IF there sights under there range they can't fire for that turn.

   1 unsighted
   2 1bw
   3 2bw
   4 4bw
   5 8bw
   6 12 bw

   This simulates the night thing of now u see it. Now u dont. That is changing moon light mist and gun flashes and reflection.
   And would reduce the command range as previous post.

   Simple.

   Cheers.
