They cause panic and fear with their sudden strikes, taking otherwise confident units completely off guard, forcing them to take cover and halt their advance while they scanned the surroundings wondering who the next shot will hit.

Weary veterans soon learned to move quickly and irregularly in the open and keep their heads down.

Any Infantry Company may include one to three Sniper teams in their Company HQ platoon for +50 points per Sniper team. Snipers are unique to infantry forces and can’t be taken in Mechanised or Tank companies.

Snipers are always Confident Veterans. Their sniper’s rifle gives them Range 16”/40cm, ROF 1, Anti-tank 0, Firepower 4+.
At the start of any Movement step, the owning player may place any of their Sniper teams in any terrain feature in their own deployment area or No Man’s Land such that the sniper team is not within 4"/10cm of any enemy team.

Once in position they cannot move for the remainder of the game. If they have to move for any reason they are removed from the game, but don’t count as destroyed. A sniper team may not fire if any friendly teams are within 4”/10cm.

Snipers don’t obey the normal command rules and count as their own Command team for motivation test etc. They also don’t count towards the Company’s morale and are ignored for calculating victory points.
