There is a set of rules for WWII called Crossfire. The Sniper rule in thjis is
similar in effect to the snipers in ASL as described by Los. You simply mark
on a map the sniper location. When activated the sniper takes its shot and
then is removed from the board.

In DS this would be pretty much the same. Effect of the successful sniper shot
on artillery unit or command vehicle could be systems hit or loss of cammand
and control or some such catastrophic impact.

As far as strengths go, in Britain and Oz you look at no more than 4 or 5
snipers (usually just two teams) in an infantry battalion. People overlook the
fact that snipers are so very valuable at procuring information as well as
being able to slot an enemy commander or disable artillery sights and the
like.

This is why Canadian snipers live in the Recce Platoon at the Battalion
level - they get missions assigned by the Battalion Intelligence
Officer, as well as the straight up shooting stuff.
