Recon Tommies are actually pretty damned good for what they cost.

It's just that you can't enhance them further. They take the spot of mainline infantry in a company, and taking these guys as your mainline infantry means that you're screwed for AI after the snipe ability is used.

So, the problem lies in lack of upgrades. What upgrades to give them however, is up for discussion. Grenades come to mind, but full on LMG's or HHAT seems foolhardy.

If you give them nades, you basically make them more desirable than regular tommies manpowerwise.

Why would a MU upgrade have anything to do with their MP?

They already cost MU to get them, and grenades would cost even more. Spamming them for their grenades would be costly as running a bren spam company.

I mean I know Obama was the first one in EiR to get a card. and tbfh the Race card is pretty OP. but Romney has the K.K.K., those guys seem to camo anywhere. So OP units from both sides.
At the end of the day, however, stormtroopers finally got the anal invasion with a cactus they have richly deserved for years.

2 things.

1. after snipe shot u can recrew with them, minimize the interesting ability to a minimum of pop.

2. Suggestion: Lower the Snipe cool down to 120 sec and + Range (50) reducing the Sqaud member to 3.
Very durable Sniper.

maybe even reducing their pop cost to 4 would see them gain a bit of purpose other then that 1bren+recon sniper counter.
