A question for Y'all: I was reading Raellus' excellent thread about supply, morale, and communications, and I was wondering if a recon unit, with motorbikes and horses would be a good choice to have a radio?
My Dragon "Light Infantry" kit looks like roughly Panama-era stuffs, and has a rack and a radio on the motorbike. I like Raellus' idea that you'd be lucky if 1-in-3 radios were still operable, so - would a motorbike unit keep it, or would they rely on their mobility to get reports back and save the radios for the CO?
I can see both sides of that, so guidance and opinions would be welcome.
