Time of battle in quick battle.

[brucesim2003]

Can we get a more detailed control for quick battles time of day please. Getting kinda annoyed at choosing a day battle, only for the time to be within a minute or two (literally) of sunset. It happens often enough for it to become very irritating.

Another small niggle. It seems the AI controlling divisions wont use a search line formation. I set up a division of CL's on scout orders in a search line...the AI instantly changes formation to screen. Is this intended?

Cheers

Thanks for the feedback!

There are some issues with the time selection in random battles, and I have fixed them for future versions.

Yes, the AI will very seldom use searchline. It will normally use screen formation when scouting or screening. The problem with searchline was that in reality it was very easy for part of the division to lose contact with the rest, so the restriction is partly to keep the player from using impractical formations. The formations used by the AI are very close to those actually used at Jutland and other battles.
