Yes, he is not in the pics, but I have a sniper on a hilltop to the left on the battlefield. He is covered by a tree and some bushes, and he took out a gun crew when I charged the first hill.
Yes, 5-10 men in a trench can fend of way larger forces of infantery with minimum losses. If you charge a trench with infantery only you are toast. (I have tried, hehe) Wounded men also aim poorly, so they are left doing supressing fire, not much else.:rotfl:
