That reminds me of the very first StarGrunt game I played. KR did a
little demo game for a few of us at Origins. One guy (a friend of
Mike Miserendino's, I believe) had a sniper picking away at our
units, pinning them down left, right, and center. I finally got one
of my squads unsuppressed (by virtue of our platoon leader) and
they flushed out the sniper (who apparently kept falling out of trees;
he blew his 'hidden movement' rolls that badly). We chased him halfway
across the board before we got out of the woods, then charged him. We
charged, he retreated, we followed through, he, retreated, we followed
through again, he routed ("hey, nice las-rifle we found!"). It was kinda
funny. :-)
