Re: [DS2] Snipers

An alternative is to consider a sniper team as part of a larger combat
grouping? I believe this was done in WW2 and maybe Korea with US Army?

I'd suggest that these all be the same (as much as possible) as per
specialist team for militia, line and PA infantry. Makes things simpler.
Perhaps a slight modifier for the points cost?

This is good.

I think it should be able to be moved, along with the dummy counter,
maybe?
