On this page:
These units are trained to operate on their own, spreading out so they can cover a wide area and scouting ahead to seek out the enemy.
Scout units have:
- a distance of 20cm formation coherency, rather than the usual 5cm
- a 10cm zone of control, rather than the usual 5cm
Special abilities do not extend or transfer to other units — transport units or other units in the same formation as Scout units do not gain the above benefits.
FAQ
Q. How do formations that contain both Scout and non-Scout units form a chain to be a legal formation?
A. Every non-Scout unit must be within 5cm of at least one other unit while Scout units must be within 20cm of at least one other unit.
Q. Are Scout units 'intermingled' if they are within 10cm of another formation?
A. No, only if they are within 5cm as usual.
Q. Can a charging unit move into base contact with an enemy unit that is completely within an un-intermingled enemy Scout unit’s zone of control?
A. Yes, in this instance you may enter the zone of control of a formation that is not the target of the assault — but only if the enemy unit is closer than the Scout unit.
