West Front (Matrix Edition) scenarios edited for Night Rules

edited 11-01-07 to adjust visibility and starshell quantity.
To the original authors I will say that I am basing my mod on generic standard issue terms, taking into account defensive/offensive stance, doctrine, and the size and objectives of the forces involved. Finally I referenced the RS/EFII Night scenarios to get an idea of how the developers intended to to utilize the starshell and night rules abstraction in a scenario.
The following scenarios are modified to feature Night rules:
Under Cover of Darkness
Hold Until Relieved
"Shut Your Eyes and Go In!"
First Strike Towards Butgenbach
The Manor la Fiere
Pour l'Honneur
Skirmish at Mechili
Like Thieves in the Night
The Eagle's Talons
The Screaming Eagles in Normandy
A Hard Snow Falls
Ste. Mere-Eglise
The filenames have an "N" appended at the end, and the Scenario Description contains the word "NIGHT", so the original scenarios will not be overwritten and can be identified in the Scenario Menu.
I also took the liberty to fix the dates on those WF scenarios that did not have the correct date format, so now they will list in the correct chronological order. These will overwrite the old versions, but there are no other modifications done to them whatsoever.
