Last week my Blue Puttees made it to the gaming table in a game of Scouts Out. I fielded 10 men against Gabriel's Germans. We played a Sniper Hunt scenario, with the Newfoundlanders being tasked with hunting out and killing 3 German Snipers.
It was a bit of a tough scenario, I was able to take out 1 of the 2 snipers (victory condition) before my men withdrew. Here is Gabriel's summary of the game.
The ruined cathedral separating no-man's-land land between the Commonwealth and the German trenches is reportedly infested with German snipers. Without sufficient artillery support or men for a full on assault of the German lines HQ decided a smaller more nimble force consisting of the newly arrived Newfoundland regiment might be just the right thing for the job of dislodging the sniper menace. The Germans quickly muster their own scouting party to provide support to their comrades. The resulting skirmish was quite bloody with 60% losses on both sides and one of three German snipers killed. While the Newfies ultimately withdrew, the German snipers were pushed back far enough that they could no longer harass their lines
