Bash On Recce!

[Mad Padre]

I've just finished a motley little late WW2 Canadian recontroop in 15mm. 

Where are the dismounts from the Bren carriers in the pasture?  No doubt ransacking the two houses.

Most of these vehicles are intended for a friend of mine, Matt. He is gritting his teeth working a staff job as base adjutant, but he wears the cap badge of the Lord Strathcona's Horse and in his heart of hearts he's a hard-charging armoured recce officer.  He's also the only tank commander I know who has been under fire in Afghanistan.  And he's also a gamer and a cool guy, so it's only fitting that he command a recce unit.

Nice looking.
I am sure that your friend will be pleased.

Well done and with good intent!

Scouting operations are one of the most overlooked aspects of wargaming, and yet of critical importance. I always try to have a scouting element in my games regardless of genre.

Your friend will be well pleased.

Thanks chaps.  I quite agree that tabletop games don't often allow for proper recce actions.  Usually the light elements are thrown forward to die while counting AT and armour assets as they fire in a "death by recce" opening move.  You really need a proper scenario ad good spotting rules to reward the correct use of recce assets.

Nice work! I think that a recce. scenario could be devised around the TFL's spotting rules in TW&T.
