Recon/Recce Units in PG Modern

[thomaso827]

Getting ready to play the first scenario from Sword of Israel and looking over the modern rules again, and it seems the only mention for recce units is a brief mention in unit types where it mentions light tanks and armored cars.  No mention I can find of recce personnel units or recce ability such as it is in the optional rules of PG4.  Since they arent in this first scenario, it isnt such a big deal for now, but I wonder how others may have handled it.  I plan to use the PG4 rules, giving them the extra hex for spotting into limitting terrain. I would like to add their abiliy to call OBA or on board arty fire but understand that is one of the simplifications/abstractions made to keep the game playable.  I was recon trained in '74, and calling fire missions was a major part of the job, and as far as I can find in other places, it was as I can find, this has always been part of their mission.  Thanks for your thoughts.
