Sniper Fire

Sniper Fire

Sniper fire is a special form of Ambush Fire, and takes place in the Ambush Fire phase. One sniper, fires one shot, at only one target. The sniper must be at least 150m away from the target. Troops that survive a sniper attack, and are within 50m of the sniper may return fire if they first make a 50% roll to detect the sniper. Only one sniper may fire per turn within a 1250m-diameter area. Any unit that takes sniper fire may not fire until the next turn; return fire at the sniper is at 10% less than normal.

Only persons facing in their general direction may detect snipers firing suppressed weapons. Those who are facing the general direction roll the die to detect the sniper.
