Of course, the only time I'd look at a two-vehicle unit without beating
the person putting it on the board would be for a scout section. I
follow US lead and put them in 6-vehicle platoons that operate in
pairs. Normal-sized for tanks/IFVs ranges from 3-5, with 4 being
ideal. And you don't call a size 4 tank a scout. . . Unless you're
NSL, in which case that screwy (but historically quite effective!)
German recon doctrine is in effect.
