Snipers have radios.  They also have training in
getting into places the enemy does not want them to be
be, and doing so unobserved.  Think about it--let's
say your sniper can see the enemy brigade
headquarters.  Is he going to do more damage shooting
the brigadier in the head, or calling for artillery to
blow the whole mess up and kill everyone?  There's a
reason the Marines call their guys "Scout-snipers."
