i agree with plasmakrab, there is considerble difference betweeen a marksman and a sniper. the austrian army for instance has a very high purportion of marksman (there is a marksman assigned to every 'jaeger' platoon - sadly not covered in the current SP OOB) - sometimes even there is one in every squad. these however are not snipers, shooting afterall being only 1 of 6 different sniper skills.

i have seen some bizzare results however. in one scenario i did a 'heavy' sniper in a building effectivly halted and even routed 2 entire platoons of light infantry. this was prolly a 'searching' problem - sniper was too well hidden -but in RL the units would have fired blind at various targets anyway.
