Recon Units and Scouting

[Smedley]

Panzer Campaigns, another John Tiller design, has recon spotting as an optional rule. So it could be done. Not sure how hard it would be to code.

The use of recon units is a difficult tactic to master. Most people "bump" hexes to find hidden units.......this can be very costly! An opponent that is sneaky with his op-fire settings can chew up recon units in a hurry.

The introduction of snipers shows that small units are a viable option for the CS game engine. Perhaps a scout unit would be just the thing we need.

I'm sure all nationalities involved in WWII used scouts to recon ahead of an attack.
