Generals and fellow gamers a few questions

1. Do Skirmishers at night work i.e. even though the visibility range is 1 hex but can a unit that has skirmishers out see 2 hexes into the night?
my thought is yes.
2, Is Fatigue recovery rate effected by breastwork building, and vice versa does unit fatigue effect breastwork building?
the answer seems to me to be no.

3. Does Formation effect fatigue recovery rate Line vs Column?
i do not think so but want to be sure

1. I don't know the answer.

2.1 Units building breastworks do not recover fatigue; building breastworks does not increase fatigue.
2.2 Fatigue does not affect the building of breastworks.

3. No.
Note:
Changing formation is considered movement and incurs night fatigue penalty;
Changing formation can cause disruption (e.g. limbered guns unlimbering); and
Movement in certain formations can cause disruption, in addition to night penalty fatigue (e.g. infantry moving in line).
