Nice, interesting adds, the first one could be a great hit in MC serie and the recon change good in all series.
In other thread i talk about made recon units more usable, the new rule improve their value to find enemy but... what as i said in other thread... what about their survive ability? as recon units with superior optics and comunications i think they can evade enemy attacks simple moving to a new position... i remember read about german recon missions and the idea was that a sucessfull mission was one where you fire 0 bullets, in game recon units fight like other regular units and take excesive casualties, specially in the defender side.
Strela i expect all goes fine with your "reposition of HQ" and soon you return to control your minions
PD: of course first is have Scheltd44 out, maybe release is delayed a bit from your original plans? well, you allways can release another blog post with extra info about game... and future candies for little kids
