A Scout is a type of intelligence unit. It may refer to the following types of unit:
Scout Units are in general very weak, and only armed with 1 weal direct fire weapon, like the Tom Cat machine gun on the UEF Snoop. Scout units are equipped with mid range radars to detect enemy units from afar. A very common strategy in the early game, is to throw together a small attack force, mostly consisting of T1 Tanks, like the UEF´s Striker with some T1 Mobile Anti-Air Units and Artillery, paired with one scout. This is often used for early game harassment of Mass Extractors and Factories.
