Patrolling

[cavalry corps]

The patrolling new rule is pretty ( very ) good but a bit simple and blunt . Now i am in a bit of a muddle as to why we have recon spotting and patrol seems like one rule would do .

It seems to me patrolling has much better uses than looking for partisans !


How about these modifiyers

Not allowed in storms ?

Not allowed across rivers ?

I assume patrolling will work against LRDG in EA42 those units are way too powerful

The patrolling feature seems better then recon spotting . Is it ??

Maybe a similar rule should be allowed for recon units or real recon designated units including cavalry to work like this and maybe the spotting feature should be governed by the movement category


say foot 2 hex

horse , bikes , motorbikes 3 hex

motorised / recon units say 4 hex

BUT chance of spotting reduced by terrain % that the defending unit is in say woods -20 entrenched - 40% = - 60% . Patrolling is not the same in the desert as in dence woods is it ?

Current Vis 1 hex -50% ( Rain, Fog and night are not the same as sunny days are they ? )

Quality modifiyer for patrolling unit A , B +10% / E , F -10%


Just some ideas
