Grasshopper is a United States Air unit.
Overview[ | ]
One of the most well known light aircraft in history, the Piper J-3 Cub was produced between 1938 and 1947 by Piper Aircraft. Simple, affordable, and reliable, the monoplane was powered by an air-cooled piston engine. Its stability and ease of use made it a perfect trainer aircraft for the Civilian Pilot Training Program established in the United States in 1939.
Its usability went beyond that, however. A militarized version, the L-4 Grasshopper, was introduced in 1941 (originally called O-59), and was used for artillery observation and scouting during the Invasion of France, allowing Allied units to located German strongpoints and armor, reducing the chance of ambush.
Each Artillery Battalion has two Grasshopper in the HQ Battery to serve as spotter and liaisons.
In Phase A the 3rd Armored has two cards of two two star veteran Grasshoppers.
2nd Infantry has in Phase A two cards of three Grasshoppers.
101st Airborne has two cards of three one star veteran Grasshoppers in Phase A.
