Because they don't have to close with the enemy to fight effectively, their lack of speed represents only a minor weakness. Most sniper 'Mechs set up a “sniper nest” on the battlefield, in much the same way as missile boats take up and maintain a strategic position. Unlike missile boats, however, snipers are armed with direct-fire weaponry and cannot attack from hiding. To compensate for this necessity, choose a sniper nest far from the enemy force that provides cover in the form of woods or other partial cover. As the enemy advances on your position, attack while staying stationary. As additional protection, assign striker or brawler 'Mechs to keep fast enemy 'Mechs away from the snipers.
