The scenario you picked, #0709_05 Hill 253.6 - Aufklarüngs Assault, is used to teach the player about effective reconnaissance (recon) tactics.

Try this...

At start in hexes (1,11) (1,13) (4,13) (6,13)& (8,15), the Axis force has units (infantry and Armored cars labeled 'recon units'. Right click the unit image in the information box to see this capability.

Place any of these with a clear LOS (line of sight) to a suspected enemy position. The enemy position can be any hex with cove in it. like tall grass, forest, urban, or broken terrain. You get the idea.

Click on this recon unit to highlight it so you can give it an order.

Now click in your toolbar the icon that says recon spotting when you hover over it. It looks like a pair of binoculars. The unit will search all the terrain in the unit's LOS for hidden enemy units. it might take several attempts to find all hidden enemy units. Each search attempt consumes 1/3 of the recon unit's movement allowance.

See if this works for you. If you need more help with or other issues with the game this drop me an email.
