    Difference between Mech and light bns

    Worked both, mech now, Light in '02 tour.  As mech I feel it boils down to 2 things.  1.    As mentioned above you cannot take a light inf guy and give him a Lav, sure he can get out BUT that's it. 2.    Mech guys can drive/gun/command, and get out of the back of the lav.  More combat...

    Future of Recce in Infantry & Armoured

    Don't forget that the Strats do dismounted as well.  The Strats seem to be a good place to go if u wanna deploy!  This RECCE thing, if it happens, may not be for a while.

    Future of Recce in Infantry & Armoured

    For what I've heard, yah I'm an RP,  still.....long story.....,RECCE yes RECCE may be given to the armoured.  They will do it all.  Sad day for the infantry.  That leaves SIGS and 1 MP attached ot the Battalion along with HQ.  Not much of a CBT SUP me thinks.  Realistically, SIGS could be...
