Isn't disorientation only at night?

I've checked my scenario books (Guad, JF, NS, and now Saipan). I even checked the last (paper) PG FAQ for reference. That FAQ is the precursor to the errata that PG HQ now incorporates. The only disorientation rule that I can find is in Guadalcanal. In that game, disorientation only occurs per the special rules, and yes, that usually was at night.

Please let me know when and were this rule was changed so that I can get this straight.

Odd, In my Guadalcanal, I have no reference to day or night with disorientation. I am wondering if this is a reprinting issue, taken out or added in an early/later version. What is the copyright on the rules, Mike? Mine has 2006.

I have also checked Kokoda Trail and it too has no reference to day or night.

I stand (a bit) corrected on this. The rule clearly does not mention night. I didn't intend to sound as if disorientation was automatic at night. I only mentioned night as this special rule does show up more often in scenarios with late night/early morning settings. In point of fact, a quick persual of Guad shows only a handful of scenarios using this rule at all. It's almost as if the rule applies to troops who are quite new to the jungle. I didn't see anything after September '42.
