Recce Units in Rapid Fire

Wargaming WWII

By Alex Webb


Recce units spotting.

Properly constituted Recce Units receive a +1 role for spotting provided they are stationary for the turn whilst the spotting attempt was made.  Recce units may call down fire onto the spotted enemy units provided a radio truck, a Recce unit HQ is included within the force and radio links are made as follows:

Link one – spotting element to Recce unit HQ
Link two - the Recce unit HQ to Radio truck
Link three - to battery as normal."

This is such a good idea - it gives people a reason to have recce units & sub units (e.g. the Soviet independant Brigade has a small unit of cavalry for recce - up till now all they have done is die gloriously).
