Recon units too slippery?

Post by PoorOldSpike »

The German 8-wheeler recon unit can move 8 hexes-

And if there are Russian infantry units around, he can still move 8 hexes (bit by bit) along the exact same path, brushing past them whistling dixie as if they weren't there!

Suggestion to devs- double the cost of moving through enemy ZOCs so that he can only move 4 hexes, slowed by the fact that they're throwing abstract grenades and stuff at him as he brushes past.

But the reconnaissance unit is now surrounded, this is not a good position! You chose a special case for your demonstration that I’ve never met on the battlefield.

When a recon slips into one of your vital rear hexes (eg an undefended airfield) you might think differently..:)

I always protect my airports near the front and I try to capture enemy airports with my reconnaissance units avoiding being surrounded :)
