Formation 088 in the Japanese OOB. This formation includes a scout team. Equivalent formations, formmation 214 "GrW Trp (le)" in the German OOB and formation 103 "Mortai Leggare" in the Italian OOB dont include a scout team. I wonder if Jap formation 088 could lose the scout team? Reason being you cant sustitute 088 for a Jap inf coy support section you have to add it giving a extra "squad" to the coy and of course the extra scout. The "unneccesary" scout makes this exsercive a bit more expensive than need be.
Best Regards Chuck.
I like to have scouts/snipers/FOs in my arty formations, since if the unit calling arty support is the 0 in the formation, the shells seem to be fired a bit faster, and the scout can protect the mortars from an enemy trying to destroy them
