− The '''Wheeled Scout''' is more of a category of vehicle than a particular model of vehicle. The most common examples have three axles with six wheels. These vehicles tend to have good overland speed, are lightly armored, and as the name implies, are generally used for scouting and reconnaissance. They usually carry a driver and a gunner. The gunner operates the [[medium laser]] using a remote sighting and firing device. <ref>''MechWarrior: The BattleTech Role Playing Game'', p. 34 "Wheeled Scout"</ref> + The '''Wheeled Scout''' is more of a category of vehicle than a particular model of vehicle.
