KG Erwin -> RE: Scout Team or Recon Patrol? (2/4/2006 7:25:13 AM)

In my Marine OOB, a two-man patrol has a speed of 12. The Four-man patrol has a speed of 11. With C & C OFF, the 2-man teams are useful as forward scouts -- that's their intention, to detect the enemy's presence, and return to HQ to report. I tend to buy 4-man patrols. They are slightly slower, but can offer a quick shot if fired upon and then disappear into the jungle. All scouts can upgrade to the Scout/Snipers of 1943 and beyond. Think about this, though -- radios in WII were bulky instruments, so I can't imagine either of these units schlepping a radio. So, for C & C ON players, you shouldn't expect them to be able to call in arty or air strikes.
