Takin' out Snipers...........

[Art Hall]

I assume the best way is to move a squad into that hex and unless the Sniper has other friends with him he is toast correct?

What if the Sniper is a lone wolf.........is that still considered a Melee when you move into the hex or can your squad continue its move if it has MP's left after dispatching the Sniper?

A melee is initiated so your squad has to stop its impulse to "fight" the melee. That being said, IIRC, there is a skill that allow you to continue your move in this situation but this is not per regular rules.

Another way to address Snipers is that Terrain modifiers are NOT double for Snipers against Mortar/Artillery barrages and enemy Snipers.
