OK, I looked up the wording:
“Instead of attacking during your assualt phase”
It can only be used on your own assault phase.
You are right on.
Oh, yes. Thank you for pointing out that clarification. Now it’s as clear as the blue sky above Normandy.
:evil:
you explained it yourself.
Read carefully:
T-26 : Face-up Disrupted counters aren’t removed from this unit at the beginning of the casualty phase
Sniper : This counter isn’t removed at the beginning of the next casualty phase.
I was going to make this exact point but KC beat me to it. Thanks for being quick on the draw.
I do my best

No the +1 does not apply to the headshot ability. It is not a normal attack, there fore its just a standard role
this clears it up completely. I figured that the ability was way to powerful
The Avalon Hill website has the answer in the FAQ.
From Avalon Hill FAQ
Wehrmacht Expert Sniper says,
“Crack Shot — This unit gets +1 on each attack die.
Superior Camouflage — While this unit has cover, enemy units can’t attack this unit at medium or long range.
Headshot — Once per game, instead of attacking a Vehicle, you may roll six attack dice. If you roll three or more successes, put a face-up Disrupted counter on that Vehicle. This counter isn’t removed at the beginning of the next casualty phase.â€
Q: Does the Crack Shot ability apply to Headshot?
A: Yes. The Crack Shot ability modifies attack dice, so the Wehrmacht Expert Sniper rolls successes on a 3 or higher.
Q: Does “have cover†mean that the Sniper has to succeed at a cover roll to get the Superior Camouflage ability?
A: No. A unit “has cover†just by being in hex filled with defensive terrain. This means that a Sniper with Superior Camouflage can’t be attacked directly at medium or long range while it’s in a forest, hill, marsh, or town hex.
