RE: Snipers, Mr. Sarno!

Sorry, I was incorrect.

SG p. 25 (Firing at Unlocated Targets) references the Range Die modified
by
Cover (not a cover die as I wrote). My thought was that each time the
sniper
fires and does not move, his general location would be narrowed (even if
not
actually spotted). "He's somewhere between those two trees. Put a couple
of
frag grenades in there." What would be a better mechanic to model this?
The
rules state that there is no effect unless the firer manages to beat the
target's best of 2 dice rolls. Perhaps shift the range die down?

As I indicated, I have only played once, so perhaps both penalties are
too
much.
