Rules
Rules Revision
The Sniper Artillery Rifle prior to revision artillery rules, was considered optional standard equipment, using old Level 2 Rules. After introduction Total Warfare rule set, the equipment was re-shuffled to the Advanced rules. Which made it no longer considered playable in Tournment, thus Non-Tournment Legal.
The Sniper artillery's ammunition options were expanded to include Smoke, Anti-Personnel, Illumination, Incendiary, Copperhead, Thunder/FASCAM, Cluster, and High Explosive Rounds (High Explosive rounds considered the "Standard" rounds for tube artilery). The standard rounds damage was increased from the old Damage = 10/5 to 20/10 damage.
