This was something that was in my mind for ages now. I mean what about locals, either local resistance movements or local traitors. They would be very effective scouts but also effective saboteurs.
What kind of weapons should we give them though?

nice idea. i think they should have sniper type weapons, along with close quaters weapons like combat shotguns. they would have stealth/ saboutage rules and wouldnt have high tech gear. i like this.

I would also give them home made bombs which might explode prematurely or pistols, less reliable weapons.

Now are you guys thinking of having generic figs that could be scouts for any army? Mercenaries if you will.. ... If this is so I might be able to fit them in the release schedule in the next few months...... ;D

Mercenaries would have unique and good equipment since they could afford it, Im truly talking about locals, stuff like the local farmer who has picked up his scythe and pistol to fight the Nazis, or a few local children who are naive and help the Nazis find their target.

but yes, they could be used in any army. they would be similar to partisans or conscripts

I thought conscripts were something totally different than what are are discussing here.

I think the Nazis would stick with their elite like army, the Russians would have them. the British and Americans would have professional armies too. They are an off topic unit for this thread!

What do conscripts have to do with local scouts?

Post by warlordgrubnatz on Jul 6, 2005 14:03:20 GMT -5
all i was saying was that similarly to local scouts conscripts are civilians who are draughted into the army. And local scouts could be used in any army
