RE: RECON units in MC

I just thought there might be more than being able to spot, i agree both the patrol feature and the recon spotting are great features. I think the problem i have with it is like u said u move forward and bump into something and u get nailed,now if i can c him in line of site from 2 hexes away for the most part he can c you to and since recon units are all hard targets if he has a HA of 2 he nails ya. I dont like that all recon units are hard targets except if its MOT but then its half useless b/c it needs to stay to the roads in order to get anywhere. Most WP recon units and the Dutch i believe were infantry based but u cant create them b/c if u make it a REC TRK in the oob it will count 240 M-113s instead of 240 infantry on M-113s. Being a soft target it wouldnt have to take the shots from tanks/inf units who have a range of 2HA when its deployed out front of your units. I would like to create infantry based recon units and cant do it, now if we had something like a box where we could flag a unit recce like we flag it for WMDs then we could create these units and even HEL based inf units for recon and the recon spotting feature would work for them.
