Sniper abilities

@RisingSun I had similar experience, I was big into the naval miniatures but couldn’t afford both. I bought a lot on ebay a year or so ago and have played a few games. It is not difficult to learn especially if you are familiar with the navy side, it’s pretty similar but includes facing. I think it’s a great game and wish I had collected it some when it was active.

Ferocity - During your assault phase, this unit must attack if able.
(This special ability was removed from the Japanese Type 3 Chi-Nu tank. It’s listed here for reference purposes.)

No, you cant attack and move with this ability. Must attack if able. Then, only attack.

@Dave-Richards
Yes.
You can play online here https://forumini.boards.net/board/8/aam-online-matches-clubs. Pm me (bartok)

I actually get it now. Thanks Ducky!…and MOTCD  :-)

very good example without answer….

A successful defensive-fire attack disrupts the target. Since disrupted units can’t move, this
normally ends that unit’s movement. Grizzled Veteran ignore face up, so it can move.
If you are playing with Lethal Defensive Fire (Expanded Rules is another history.

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.”

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.

I found my own answer.  Removed after second turn.
