Spotting woes

[Lt. Ketch]

I read somewhere to never let your scouts be caught in the open. I didn't pay too much attention to it because I figured, "Hey, their scouts. They're trained to see things. If they can't see anything, it's not there." All you veterans can keep laughing if you want. I learned my lesson, FAST! Needless to say I'm still learning how to effectivly use scouts. (Thanks for the posts here.)When all else fails, I use lots and lots of smoke gernades. Yeah, the enemy may know where you are, but at least he knew that anyway and know he can't shoot at you.

"As for infantry and scouts being transported, don't unload them within enemy line of sight. Use terrain (forests, hills, buildings) to shield them from likely enemy positions, or drop a protective smoke screen in front of the area where you are going to unload." - Greifbringer

Listen to Greifbringer and never, never, never unload scouts in the enemy's LOS. I had two scout HTs and two scouts squads wiped out in a single turn and was pretty much blind in that half of the map for the rest of the turn. Yeah, big mistake. Don't make it.
