Aufklärtrupp (Scout Troop)

'"Time spent on reconnaissance is seldom wasted." -Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington' Scouts are a necessity for all armies. You will typically be the first one to see the enemy, and the intelligence you can provide will be vital to the war efforts. You can also collect coordinates for the Kanonier, and by co-operating, you can be a extremely deadly pair.

Your Job
As a scout, you don't have much to do until the train departs for the front. Establish communications with the Kanonier, and inform him you will be sending him coordinates. Next, load the train and go to the battlefield with the rest of the soldiers. After you arrive, you ideally want to get eyes on Russian defenses at the bridge (using your binoculars) and relay the information to command. From there, try to collect key coordinates, and report any other important information you see.

Your tools
You have two main tools.
 * Binoculars - Use these to see very, very far. With these you can collect information about enemy movements and arms, and they will not be able to see you.
 * Coordinates - Use the Scout tab. Select "Check coordinates", then click any tile with an empty hand to see the coordinates of that tile.  Click "Reset coordinates" to stop collecting.  Report them to the Kanonier as they appear (X/Y).

Things to report
Most scouts focus on collecting coordinates for artillery strikes, but good scouts will also report key battle information. Here are some things to keep an eye out for.
 * Enemy Tanks - This is very important. This will give the army time to find a PTRD, or ally tank to counter then enemies.
 * Enemy fortifications - If there is a large defense built by the Russians, let the command know. They may want to re-route troops or change strategies.
 * Enemy locations - Where enemies are congregating. Best followed by an artillery shell.
