Recon Units in WWII Micro Armour: The Game

General Retreat · Post by **General Retreat** » Wed Sep 07, 2011 7:14 am

My question is this: Of what use are infantry Recon units in WWII Micro Armour: The Game? In Special Weapons, 10.7 mentions better cohesion but the units themselves are weak. And none are shown for Germany.

Want some feedback because I'm creating more infantry bases and have to decide if I'll should save the binocular men for recon units or use for hdqtrs.

Please refer to Section 10.0 Special Weapons, case 7. Recon Stands special characteristic is described there.

I made up my own German Recon Inf values because an Infantry stand won't 'fit' in a SdKfz 250 unit as written.

here are my values:
recon Inf '43-45
Cost = 10
APf/HEf = 0/3
APr/HEr = 1/5
def = **6
Move = 4F
Trans Req = 4

These fast platoons make excellent FO's but they are lightly armed, with no real LMG's or Anti-Tank ability to speak of.

Other than whats on page 14, you're right there's not much about them in the rules.

have fun,
Leif
