Special Abilities Errata & FAQ

Crack Shot

This unit gets +1 on each attack die.

Q: Can a sniper use the Crack Shot special ability verses an Aircraft?
A: The Sniper can shoot at Aircraft, but can't use the Crack Shot SA verses Aircraft. (From 11/12/2009 Errata)

Superior Camouflage

While this unit has cover, enemy units can’t attack this unit at medium or long range.

Q: Does "has cover" mean that the unit must succeed at a cover roll to get the Superior Camouflage ability?
A: No. A unit "has cover" just by being in hex filled with defensive terrain. This means that a Sniper with Superior Camouflage can't be attacked directly at medium or long range while it's in a forest, hill, marsh, town or other hex that gives it cover.

Q: A rifleman is sharing the same hex with a Fanatical/Expert/Imperial Sniper. A Brummbar tank is four hexes away and decides to target the rifleman. Does the sniper take damage from the Blast targeted at the rifleman located in the same hex?
A: Yes. The Blast gets the sniper too.
