Sniper Q&A

Q-- May a man fire at an Enemy standing the same hex?

A- No. Fire Combat is not allowed at a range of less than one hex.
[Note. Fire may be executed against the same hex if the target is
located on the next higher floor of the same building and room as each
height level is considered to be one hex when computing range.]

Q-- In Scenario # 8 ( Tobruk ) In a Block Clearing situation both the
German and British OB's contain a tank. Is this correct?

A-- No. The Germans should receive the tank. The British do not receive
a tank nor do they receive anti-tank weapons (rocket launchers).

Q-- The rules for the Cordon situations [32.51] specify that the
Cordoned Player may deploy between the 1200 row of hexes and the 0100
row. Is this correct?

A-- No. The Cordoned Player should deploy between the 1200 row and the
3900 row.

Q- Shouldn't there be a Turn Record as in Sequence of Play [4 0-J]?

A-- No. Sniper! scenarios last an indefinite number of turns. A game
ends only when either Player has completed his specified mission for
that scenario or if one Player completely eliminates (kills) the Enemy
Player's entire force.

Q-- In certain several story buildings it appears that certain rooms
have no doors on the upper floors (such as the room containing hex #
2709). Why?

A-- In the building you have described the room on the first floor has a
cathedral ceiling. No second story exists for that particular room.

Q-- When are the effects of Panic ended?

A-- At the beginning of each Game-Turn all men which panicked on the
previous Game Turn are considered normal again.

Q-- In Patrol situations, once ''Contact'' is established may men
deviate from the pre-chosen route?

A-- Yes. Once ''Contact has been established all men are free to move
without regard for the pre chosen route.

Q- Case [9.32] refers to a "Jumping Effects Table ''. Has this been
omitted?

A--Yes, deliberately. The procedure for determining whether a man who
jumps is injured is explained in that case and there was, therefore, no
need to reproduce this in tabular form. Note This procedure is modified
in Case [17.58].

Q-- The German (Player A) entry hex in the Introductory Sniper! game is
given as hex # 1902 which is within a building. Is this correct?

A-- No. The German entry hex should be hex # 1901.

Q-- When vehicles are used in certain scenarios are the driver and/or
crew added to or subtracted from the Orders of Battle specified for that
scenario?

A-- Tanks come equipped with the four man crew described in Case
[26.12]. If the tank personnel leave the tank they are replaced with
Machine Pistol Armed men (see 26.36) which are additional to the
friendly squad member given in the OB for the scenario in play. Drivers
for trucks and half-tracks must be supplied from the initial OB for the
scenario in play. These drivers may be either Riflemen or Machine Pistol
Armed men who may use their weapons if they are forced to leave their
vehicles.
