Steel Division Normandy 44 - Scouts Out
Some wargamers tend to see their reconnaissance units as pawns. Let's them do what they are meant to.

This Panzer IV moves for the kill. Targets and safe route to contact kindly provided by scouts.

Use multiple waypoints to ensure the computer doesn't pick some odd route towards the observation position. This is also useful
for any type of unit off course. Also note that the mode of movement is "Hunt" (Q), just to make sure that if the reconnaissance
unit comes into trouble you will have time to pull it out.

This German reconnaissance unit can dismount its scouts (note them running towards the buildings).
This is very useful for having eyes beyond the mobility shortcomings of this wheeled vehicle.
