favorite scout units

Most scout work takes place before the deliberate attacks. It can help scouts if you drop arty/smoke to hide their movement or suppress enemy observation.

Any unit that is smaller than size 1. Best if it has radio and can therefore help adjust for fires.

Has short ranged weapon, keep to contact range not more than 1 so they don't accidentally give away their presence.

You can only move mounted in the first couple of turns. After that, its always dismounted movement towards an OP location.

I've done that before and it worked real good, though to cover an entire front I ended up expending a lot of smoke at the beginning of the battle, smoke that would become twice as valuable later in the battle. Luckily, I play mostly random battles, so I had the choice of buying twice as much off-map artillery as I would normally have, but when you play scenarios you are greatly limited and can only use what is given to you.
