Sadly though Dr D we are doing a skirmish game where single figures

vehicles are important.
Well, yes and no. We are not wanting to game the initial recon. of
every engagement. So, we need someway of feeding the results of that
recon. into the engagement we do want to game. So, to my logically
trained scientific mind (:-)), the fact that we want to represent the
results of the recon., but do not want to game it, leads us to a
mechanism by which the figures we want to play with derive some
benefit from the actions of the figures we don't want to represent.
Otherwise, we are reliant on the umpire to do so, and we all know
where that leads us!
