Sniper

Just spent a week in Scotland ,knowing we were in a pretty remote area ,took a good book to read and a Minden Classics solo game , this contained 3 WW2 solo games , Stringbag which seemed similier to their Torpedo plane game I have played a few times ,Penal Battalion which is a game of mine clearing and the one I chose to play ,Sniper Attackwhere you obviuosly play the part of asniper in different thestres of 2 . Again played by using standard playing cards ,great fun you play a mini campaign of nine attempts at hitting random targets gaining points along the way until you either complete your nine missions or get caught or have to retreat to escape , i managed 5 hits before my luck ran out in the first game. Not as in depth as the Torpedo game but still enjoyable.
