Default Re: US Sniper rifle???

This is a battalion level game, and for those purposes, the micro-differences between one bolt action rifle and another, or between one SMG and another is irrelevant. Thus, like any other set of 1/300 tabletop wargames rules which simply have "Rifle", "SMG" and "AsR" class weapons, a "sniper rifle" is treated the same way.

Plus, given the points system, there would be no noticeable difference in cost between a bolt rifle and a bolt rifle+ equipped section, since the values would be too small to make a difference. Not unless you used a system where a Sherman tank cost say around 1000 points, not 50 or so.

If you need to play a game where these micro-differences apply, then you should probably be looking for a section-level game, or maybe platoon at the highest, where you are being charged points for each hand grenade issued, different amounts for a single .45 round and a 9mm etc.

Cheers
