I think some long range patrols units would be fun

I only have Winter War (so far)
Thought occurred that Finland had some long range patrols (LRP) that caused the enemy headaches deep behind enemy lines.
That would be kind of fun here
The problem is, it is too easy to cut off their supply lines and make them immobile in the game.
Of course you couldn't have too many - perhaps not even more than one.
And they shouldn't be very strong
Here are my thoughts - no idea if it is possible in the game engine:
1) Limit it to one unit - one way would be to tie them to a leader - Torni would be a good one for Finland
2) No movement penalty if out of supply (we're supposed to be surrounded)
3) No reinforcements if out of supply
4) weak unit (say 2 strength points) - but can retreat before combat in anything but open terrain
