Q. about Scouting

I am a bit confused about scouting in FM 2013.

When I started a new game, with Porto, I had 8 scouts and 7 of them were scouting new talent. Each of them was scouting new talent in a different country.

When you give assignment for New Talent you do NOT choose the country right? The scout will change country on his own?

If I assign a scout to an individual country or region, is he searching for new talent in that country?

Yeah, if you assign it he will go there. Check in staff responsibilities to make sure its you thatsets the assignments and not a cheif scout or director of football and you'll be fine
