About the game
What you do in a play session
If you've already enjoyed the base Sniper Elite game, get ready to take your covert missions to the next level! This expansion introduces two breathtaking new scenarios: the infamous Eagle’s Nest and the Heavy Water Facility. Each of these maps presents fresh challenges for both the Allied sniper and the defending Axis troops, demanding new tactics and strategies to emerge victorious.
But the new additions don't stop there! The expansion also gives you the chance to choose from four alternative Allied snipers, each with their unique skillsets and exclusive miniatures. Do you want to experience the precision of Karl or Rosa, the ferocity of Jun (straight from Zombie Army), or the experience of Major Eazy (from the Battle comics)? The choice is yours!
Featuring mechanics like Action Points, a Chit-Pull System to add a touch of unpredictability, and thrilling Hidden Movement, each game promises to be tense and engaging. It's the perfect pick for those who enjoy wargames with a World War II theme and aren't afraid to face a good strategic challenge. The language dependency is moderate, so having translated cards or a reference sheet handy will greatly aid immersion.
