I don't like minefields and obstacles disappearing at night. Some folks point out the way troops blunder into these things in real life but at the near god-like level we're commanding troops our colonels and captains can keep track of that crap. Once spotted, mines and obstacles should remain spotted until removed (though if they're removed by the other side that should not be updated until a friendly unit once again has LOS).
I think this is an important suggestion. It is just not sensible that you can completely loose track of all mine fields and fortifications once they are out of sight. Fortification counters should remain on the board as last obsereved, untill re-observed, at which point there status should be updated. Mine field status should remain as is untill a friendly unit enters the hex again and actually physically investigates the status of the field. (Probably best done with mine engineers I would have thought.)
