Yes, they had them in the recon units till quite late according to several sources I have.

I suppose there is no reason I couldn't add motorcycles with side cars?

The Regimental Reconnaissance Company in the Soviet MRR's had motorcycles. Like Capn D says, just need a good image to use.

I cheated and used the scout icon. [8D] I'm trying to get this wrapped up today.

I have skipped the odd motorcycle here and there. I suppose I could add them back in if I thought they were actively engaged in recon rather than liaising about.

But for the early 60's recon battalion (FM 30-102 1960) there is a "company" of 21 K750's carrying three guys each. So, much harder to ignore.

Proof that you can equip a RPG to a MC troop?

Tazak, just because you can do a thing doesn't mean it should be done.
