===British Variant===

The Scorpion is the second option of the two British Recce choices, costing 1 point per vehicle. While almost identical to the Scimitar, the Scorpion features a gun similar to the Chieftain. With an anti-tank of 14, it will auto-pen any vehicle apart from main battle tanks. However, it is able to defeat generation 2 battle tanks like the Chieftain and T-55AM2 due to their use of bazooka skirts (Side armor 10 against HEAT weapons) rather than more modern armor designs. The main difference that sets the Scorpion apart from the Scimitar is the presence of 2+ firepower in its main gun, making it a superior choice when the player prefers to destroy vehicles rather than simply mass-bailing vehicles. Increased firepower also makes it a smarter choice to destroy infantry in cover, with a 2+ firepower almost guaranteeing that any infantry who fail their 3+ save will meet a splattery, fiery end. 

The main drawback of the Scorpion is how reliant it is on being stationary to effectively employ its main gun. With a moving ROF of 1, the Scorpion is a relatively poor choice for players opting for a mobile playstyle for their recce units. In fact, players might even consider using Scorpions as budget Chieftains to destroy enemy vehicles, while missile equipped units destroy enemy tanks. Consider your options carefully.

As with other British vehicles, it has a weaker profile on the move which is buffered by a 3+ skill rating for orders. Oddly enough, its legitimate combat strength makes it an option as a light tank to fight from a distance, rather than being shoehorned as a suicide recce unit.
