RE: Snipers at Stalingrad
This seems like it might be ok but I am afraid there may be a couple problems. I think there a couple of game issues that will frustrate you from producing a usable scenario.
First, the reasons that Der Kuenstler mentioned are all true.
Quote:But I doubt if you will be able to make a good sniper scenario in CMBB as the snipers:
A) are very stealthy and won't see each other
B) if they get close enough to see each other (inside 100 meters), they won't shoot at each other, using mostly harmless "defensive fire" with pistols.
C) the scenario would be very boring as the winner would be the guy who sat still the most (as still units spot better).
On top of that, it will have to be done on a very small map in order for the snipers to actually ID the HQs units and snipe the individuals that you are having act as the Targets. I think the Russian Infantry company would do a much better job of taking out the targets than the sniper probably will and then your just talking about a standard scenario where the Snipers are support.

Here is an illustration of why counter sniper operations just don't work in CM. This is from a battle that Warhammer11A and I played about a year ago.All we could both do is shake our heads at this. It was kind of.......disturbing.
