Don't forget the confidence test at threat level 3. I forgot to mention
that one of his squad has drop to Broken : having lost a leader and
confidence level the first turn, lost the new leader and badly roll for
CL
(drop 2 CL) the second turn!

Against regular unit, the sniper is quite good (better if the lesder is
poor) for lowering confidence.

Well, I guess next time my opponent will send more troop to take care of
him. :)

To finish my sniper story : after my opponent missed my sniper at short
range with his PA unit (4 men) he use his command squad to reactivate
the
PA unit and try a close assault. At that point, we realise that the
sniper
would never be able to pass his confidence test, so he was just
withdrawing
for 2 times (the PA's eventually fail their test for follow-through).
Finnaly, the sniper nerve failed after I rolled a 1 to remove a panic
marker...

Anyway, having a limitation on how many time you can overrun is good.
Else,
we can have units doing a lots of movement on the table during a close
assault.
