It would be awsome if the game engine could simulate night battles, but the only way that it would do it is if your in a battle during the day and it goes into the evening. I know that back then they did not fight a whole bunch but there are cases that they did like Hood at Second Manassas
then other battles out in the west they had some battles that continued into the night, Also the battle of Chancellorsville continued into the night. Night battles could be mostly just skirmishing because usualy they ended up in confusion. It be interesting if it was possible for the engine to do this, but if it can not it doese not matter cause this game is still the best.

I just thought of a battle in the west that involved some night action when Grant opened up a supply line into chattanooga called the bread trail or something they did that at night. then other events that involed night was mostly at begining of the war where unions river fleets ran past forts like island 10 and so forth as to try and get through withought suffering as many casualties it be awsome if this could be simulated into the engine but I not sure if the engine could do this?
