Yes, it is possible.

I haven't found it a problem. My snipers are the opposite of yours and
tend to
get killed easily. *S*

Losing a leader, while nasty, results in one casualty and maybe a couple
of
suppression markers. Compare that to transferring an action to a squad
and
having it conduct fire combat. It could do the same thing but with more
casualties. 

Play some more games and you'll probably see that the independent sniper
is
powerful, like a small squad, but that allowing it to get a Transfer
Action
isn't overpowering.

It is rather vague, isn't it? 

I'm trying to remember how we did it. I believe we had the defender
making a
Confidence Test. So, with the overrun, it is possible for the defender
to run
away. However, if it does, we didn't allow a second overrun move by the
attacker.
