What is your favorite recon unit?

[Schwerpunkt]

I would never just go forward with a single 2 man unit simply to spot the enemy.

Now for flank security. I think it can be none other than a LMG/BAR. Stick that little fella out there and WHAM, right when the flanking force starts to approach your woodline. The LP/OP is toast, but has accomplished the mission...all for the cost of 7 to 11 points.

If you like the sniper, bring him closer in so he can support the main drive and watch the flank as well. Can suppress, but what else? Plus you want him to snipe at AT gun crews, mortars and tank commanders. He is a much more valuable asset, a luxary, and can do more than the LMG.
