Default Re: Snipers

I presume you may mean your own troops? (because you spotted that your own sniper died with no fanfare?) - if so, and they were done in with area fires then no kill message is printed for unspotted troops.

That's been the case since DOS days and I changed the kill reporting code - there is no "free recce by shellfire". Otherwise if your unspotted sniper would die then your PBEM opponent would also see the kill message since all messages are global in the game.
