Default Re: Fictional/What If/Parts Bin Units

Quote:
A super ranger squad with a M82 sniper rifle in the #3 slot and 40 vision (40). They are pricey but super effective as they can suppress infantry and take out soft and lightly armored vehicles far beyond the normal effective range of 8-10 hexes.

This sort of unit, mixing snipers and normal riflemens is in the original orbat of some countrys (US Marines BTW), but never with a M-82 like rifle.
I don't like this mix because not really realistic...
But it's good work...
Edit:
Sorry, not so bad in fact if you consider it as a "weapon squad", with long range weapons...
