Night Fatigue question

[Dog Soldier]

Rick,

Unless I misunderstood your statement above, I believe units always accumulate night fatigue (assuming the OR is active) by deploying from travel mode. This makes sense as deploying a formation from column to combat formation would entail some small confusion (and result is less than optimal deployment) in the dark. This being represented as the fatigue accumulation makes sense.

I ran a quick test of this and found that higher quality units will sometimes escape night fatigue entirely when deploying from travel mode at night. It appears to be a factor of these qualities.

1. High morale (and quality)
   
2. smaller unit sizes experience less night fatigue
   

The smaller units criteria seems to hold for all night maneuvers. This makes sense as a smaller unit would be easier for the officers to keep control over than a larger one.
