Recon spotting

[lezgo killemall]

It is clicked on as an optional rule. I can't make it work. I know there is stuff out there within 5 hexes of my recon unit but when I select it it only loses the movement points but spots nothing. What am I doing wrong? jonny

It's working and you are doing nothing wrong.  They just cant always see whats out there.  I have three recon units I'm using right now in a game to spot one location and they still dont seem to catch everything each time.

manual pg 50
By selecting recon spotting, a reconnaissance unit will use one third of its movement points to attempt to reveal concealed enemy units at a range of current visibility plus one hex.
