Recon and a Modest proposal...

[cjsiam]

So---- there is basis for there being a larger "scouted area" for such units....
I like the Distance, and think that might work...I'd just turn it to like 5 hexes....I kilo in all directions....that way
you can spot and be out of everything but long range HMG and AT guns....

Simpler then creating additional units....and having to combine/break down......

I found an article about German Recon---how they broke platoons into 2 and 3 car segments which then went out individually, but stayed in radio contact....
So---I think this simulates a spread of 2 to 3 elements 1 unit with a 5in each direction can cover 2km front....a couple units at 3 could do like just over that much.
So...This might be an improvement....(It was from "TheDesertFox" was cached as it was old---I'll find the link )

Also---based on what they did---I actually think they should count triple step losses for Reccon....hard to replace good recon guys in midst of campaign...

I'm liking it.
