"Armoured Cars Platoons are Reconnaissance Platoons."

The 12th Royal Lancers were equipped with thirty eight Morris CS9 armoured cars during the campaign in France in 1940. All of these vehicles were either destroyed in action or abandon on the beaches of Dunkirk following the completion of Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of the Allied soldiers from France. A further thirty armoured cars were sent to North Africa and saw service with the 11th Hussars. However, like most vehicles developed in the inter-war years; its armour and armaments proved inadequate on the battlefields of the Second World War and was soon replaced by more modern designs.

"Reconnaissance platoons are trained to make the best use of any concealment, even when on the move." A Reconnaissance platoon can still move and be Gone to Ground if they are Concealed and did not move At the Double, shoot or assault.

"A Reconnaissance platoon uses the Eyes and Ears rules on page 149 of the mainrule book."
"In Hellfire and Back, the Morris CS9 Armoured Car can replace the turret-front MG with an AA MG at no cost."
