Sniper vs Armoured vehicle.

[Cross]

Are we talking about SPWaW, or SPWW2/SPMBT?

For SPWW2/MBT:

1 hex range is considered a 'close assault'.

AFVs are vulnerable to infantry 'close assaults', especially if your armoured vehicle was open topped?

Infantry often found a way to KO nearby armour. To avoid this, never drive AFVs next to enemy infantry, unless they are fleeing/routed.

Infantry do have a chance to 'panic' when 'close assaulting' an AFV, especially if the AFV is large. If they panic, they won't assault, will get high suppression, and may even flee.

Infantry have much better chance of a successful close assault if they were stationary (eg. ambush), and didn't move up to the AFV to attack it.

AFVs have a much better chance of surviving a close assault if they are carrying infantry, which work as an extra defense for the AFV, but the carried infantry may suffer bad casualties.

You can even shoot into open topped AFVs, especially if the infantry are above the open AFV, say in a building or on higher ground. If the crew are all KO'd in this manner, the AFV will be considered destroyed.

Hope this helps
