If you've already got the Stuarts, load each of them up with one Scout team and a pair of cheap snipers, call it done. If you lead with one sniper, the rest of the team can manouver around any suprises. I always spend the extra points for the heavy scouts with satchel charges or molotovs, JIC they run into something big, valuable and vulnerble...

Fairly much given up buying scouts apart from maybe for some big maps. Use standard teams mainly tank killer. A Mol team or some such will do operate in pairs if playing MBT RPG teams do the close work & ATGM teams do hill lookout. Both can benefit from the odd sniper trailing though they are rare. Very effective if the enemy is dug in.
