SCOUTING

On the other hand......

Be careful when desiring more recon units to be able to spot everything your opponent does, you are in danger of ruining the game and making it uniform and dull.....

The point is, these "scenarios" are not entire battles, they are generally snippets of larger battles and are designed to be just that. both sides already know that the enemy is within a few minutes of engaging them, if you are defending, you will need to set up your defense as best you can, hold back your fire-brigade, sort out some nice surprises for any flanking enemy units etc. etc. If you are attacking, you want to be feigning attacks, getting round the flanks, probing the defense etc. etc.

Now consider having more recon units in these scenarios, it's going to take all the fun out of it, you'll know exactly where your enemy is, what he's doing and what his tactics are... to me, that sounds like a recipe for a dull battle.

To reiterate my point, you know the enemy is there, you know what troops you have at your disposal and you know what's coming. I don't think it's really necessary to have any more units on the map that cannot be seen... it's already a pain in the bum not being able to spot AT or Infantry-AT units even after they've fired 10 times (although I agree it needed the change).... it would IMHO be a whole lot worse thinking there could be units watching everything I do that I will likely never be able to spot.

I like to be creative in my battles and do what I think my opponent would not necessarily be expecting, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't..... put these new spotters in and I may as well give up playing.
