 The Midmarch Scouts are standard troops who are deployed for wilderness or remote patrols. They are based in rural and wilderness fortifications, but expect to be away from home (on extended patrols) for days at a time.  While they will deal with small incursions, their main role is to keep their fortification safe and make sure that the news of any incursion or risks get back to HQ in a timely manner, they are generally set up as missile troops.  Scouts have survival and stealth skills, but aren't particularly diplomatic.  This troop type is normally used to patrol Wilderness hexes, including  managed wilderness hexes, that are adjacent to rural hexes. The Midmarch Scouts are standard troops who are deployed for wilderness or remote patrols.
