Proper Use of Scout Vehicles

[junk2drive]

Most war games are action that takes place after the recon work is done. Recon is boring in game terms. Someone can make a recon scenario that is like an arcade game where the player pokes around until something scares him.

In squad and platoon level games, armoured cars and scout cars (and halftracks, shhh!) are like cannon fodder troops with higher hit points. You play them while hoping that they survive the first hit and that you can retreat them to safety while gaining intel on the enemy.
