Snipers - Ashcloud - 11-24-2011

Is it just me or are snipers very weak. Surely every time they fire they should cause disruption or damage? They should also be very hard to spot, I can understand having a very low defence value but the snipers in this game don't seem to be able to hit a barn door from 20 paces.

I have always been fascinated by sniper warfare and feel some interesting scenarios could be create with snipers if they had a bit more power (and maybe saboteurs and resistance).

Bad luck on dye rolls I guess? They do pack a punch with quite decent attack values vs soft targets. 12 10 10 8 so closer you fire the better of course, but a value of 8 at four hexes sounds pretty deadly actually.

should have checked those numbers first, must be bad dye rolls and suspect player skill...

Or them damn barn doors just being too small to be hit succesfully? :smoke:
