The Commander Series Forum

The rules for night fighting mention IR, TI, etc... but never mention any thing about modifiers for fighting at night. The rules on visibility don't mention any modifiers either. Where (on what page) are the rules for modifiers for fighting at night, like how far can a unit see at night and are there any combat modifiers?

IIRC you use the "weather" rules. The night vision kit simply modifies the ranges at which you can see/fire (TI is treated as normal "daylight". On top of this there's -2 on the CVs for fighting at night. I don't recall this being modified by night vision kit.

I considered a night action for my Arab Israeli '73 games, but the rules as they stand would be worse for the Syrians, even though they had more image intensifiers than the Israelis. Low/medium CV armies would find attacking at night difficult I think.

I do think the night fighting rules could do with a clarification, but I think what you have posted is right.

The weather rules are optional. What are the modifiers for fighting at night. Line of sight, visibility, command negatives, etc... Nothing is mentioned that I can find in the rules. Our club wants to do a night attack on firebase in Vietnam but their are no clear rules (or at least we cannot find them)for fighting at night.

Found the rule under errata. Moonlight 50cm dark night 10cm

But why is it under weather in the errata. Shouldn't it be under night fighting?

I think it's under "weather" because that is where, in the rulebook, the distances are mentioned.
