If there was a way to have snipers retreat more when under fire they would become more of an elusive well trained threat than a 'die in place' defender.
Most snipers also operate in at least pairs so I often edit them to 2 or 3 men per sniper team when making a game.
Keep in mind a hex in WinSPMBT is 500m across, lots of space for a sniper team to redeploy in apx. 250,000 sqm!
