Types of Soldiers

A messenger could go in a certain direction to scout out other squares, like the sniper rifle in Classic DA

Then what does the scout do?

My thinking was this:

Scout: Oh no, player B, who we're about to fight, has 30 snipers.
Player A: Interesting, I better inform my troops.
Messanger: Support units won't be fighting, but we need extra infantry.
Player A: Now that I have more infantry their snipers wont be as effective.

EDIT: I really, really like the idea of players being able to act as these support roles as well.
