Hello. I am kind of new to EA in general and Space Mauhreens in particular. I was wondering, what's the best way to use scouts? I know they've got the big zones of control, and they're not slouches when it comes to fighting. So how do you use them most effectively?

I find that they tend to be very good for forcing an opponent's hand, by moving and placing a unit in their ZOC, that unit either has to engage, or move out of the ZOC, it can be very useful to stop units engaging your own vulnerable units, or stopping a timely sustain fire action!

as they're infiltrators, they're very good at sneaking through screens and getting up close and personal with units like commanders, they also have a big engage range, so are good at keeping vulnerable units at arms length, and pouncing on things your opponent has carelessly placed in range....

edit: Also don't forget they are excellent for screening stuff like warhounds from enemy teleporters and other fast moviing troops
