Some things about reacon is not completely clear to me:
  • How do reacon work between divisions. Like if one division have a reacon value of 1 and a second division have a reacon value 0 and both are in the same battle, will the total reacon value be 1 or will it be averaged so that having divisions with 0 reacon hurt your total reacon value?
  • How much advantage can you expect from a reacon value advantage. With similar commanders, will a reacon value of 2 vs an enemy reacon value of 1 mean on average your commander should choose the better tactic 2 times out of 3?

1. This is either "the best unit" gives bonus to the commander in battle, or the acting commander of battle gets his troops bonuses. Not sure.

2. Paradox games are RNG, but with better recon company means that the chances increases. My experience with paradox RNGesus is that you will get rekt. Also all the tips in the game shows x% of increases in whatever it matters. Just hover over the recon company and you generally get how much better you are. aka Wait for release and see for yourself.
