NGP'85 Patrolling feature....huh?

[JDR Dragoon]

Even so, counter insurgency units are trained to operate in areas which are patrolled. Having there effects automatically negated would seriously inhibit the abilites of deception units in the game.

That would sort of be the point. Besides, in order to cover all your rear areas against Deception capable units you would have to dedicate a serious amount of units in order to ensure complete coverage (or even just to cover your main road and railnet). Remember that a patrolling unit would only negate deception effects within Deception range, while the Deception unit can affect units within Deception range X3. In order to completely negate the Deception radius of even a single Deception unit you would thus have to commit multiple units to patrolling.
