Overland travel, wilderness encounters, and chases aside, there's another common kind of activity in the wild: Scouting. On this episode of the Campaign Builder, Dan and Adam encourage their players to get proactive and take the fight to their enemies.
Takeaways:
- Scouting relies on stealth, self-sufficiency, strategy, and speed
- Patrols and guards are the direct opposition to scouts.
- The frequency of patrols are dependent upon a number of factors, including landscape, enemy, and alertness.
- There are more dangers to scouts that just enemy forces. The wilderness is fraught with many dangers.
- Counter intelligence scouting should be a real threat.

My scouting tip is circumnavigate. Yes make a loop around a suspicious area and look at it from all sides if possible.
