Sniper! (board game)

Sniper!, subtitled House-to-House Fighting in World War II, is a two-player board wargame simulating man-to-man combat in urban environments during the Second World War, originally released in 1973 by Simulations Publications Inc, designed by James Dunnigan with additional development credited to Hank Zucker, John Young, Ed Curran, Bob Felice, Bill Sullivan, Angel Gomez and Hal Vaughn. After TSR purchased SPI in 1982, TSR issued an expanded edition of Sniper! in 1986 and followed it with a line of companion games covering related small-unit combat scenarios, along with a video game adaptation. Rather than modeling large military formations, the game focuses on individual soldiers fighting room to room and street to street inside a city, giving it a tactical scale unusually detailed for a board wargame of its era and making it an influential early example of squad-level urban combat simulation in the hobby.
