I'm writing her story for post here when the winter GB starts. She killed "only" 54 soldiers, but 12 was german snipers.... Died at 21 years, it's a petty!!Comment

For those that are interested the forum for the winter GB is open so you can introduce your build or steak your claim.
Just dont jump the gun and start the build.

I'd never heard about Roza and have just been reading about her on Wiki, what an amazing person she was... One thing that ticks me off, is WWll war films we only ever see the men fighting, while stories of females such as Roza go untold, it's high time they told hers and the many other brave female fighters...Originally posted by \
Looking forward to seeing your tribute to her...

Thank you again!! Less days to start!!!Comment

Would a napoleonic British 95th rifleman count as a sniper.I know they were skirmishers buuuuut....Comment

Well according to WIKI
So I'd say yes, but you'll have to wait for an official ruling I guessA sniper is a marksman who shoots targets from concealed positions or distances exceeding the capabilities of regular personnel. Snipers typically have specialized training and distinct high-precision rifles.

Well I will stick my neck on the block here and say that a Sniper is a fairly modern function. So in ye olde days I would guess that some one that shoot some one else could be said to be a sniper of sorts. For the want of increasing the possibilities for the Winter GB, I concur that a marksman of the field can be built.Originally posted by \
