Ok, I understand the basics and also understand that if the attempt fails, your recon unit is placed randomly on the map, sometimes very far away from the action. I'm playing the first scenario and experimenting. In most cases, the infiltration fails and your recon ends up either far from the action or exposed. I tried just putting the insertion point just into enemy territory and even then, most of the time it fails. It doesn't appear to be a good risk/reward strategy unless I'm doing something wrong.

Try to set infiltrate destination to the place where your recon boys can have concealed path. Make a straight line from current recon position to the possible destination after infiltration. If there are open field or ground which can be observed easily, infiltration will fail.

Infiltration mechanics in this game is, if your recon infantry's infiltrate path exposed to enemy LOS, infiltration fails. So, try to infiltrate via woods or long valleys or city blocs, where it is less likely to exposed to LOS.

Good suggestion, will try it.

The path to the point of infiltration doesn't matter. What matters is the infiltration depth in the enemy setup zone, the infiltrator training level and if an enemy unit has a LOS to the destination. So, even if the map is open desert, the more crucial factor is the destination terrain, weather, time of day and the enemy night vision capability.
