Description
An ambitious operation to end the war, the Axis are launching an experimental super carrier across the Atlantic. Find these plans before it can launch, or infiltrate it to bring down this war machine from within.
This expansion for Sniper Elite: The Board Game introduces two new maps, 2 vehicles with miniatures, new loadout and objective cards, a dozen new tokens and new Solo Mode cards.
Infiltrating the 'Norman Village' map is a real challenge for players as armoured cars patrol the area and crucial intelligence needs to be found to help bring about the downfall of the enemies’ '“Super Carrier”'.
From the wide-open fields surrounding the village to the air ducts, tight corridors, and multiple decks of the Super Carrier map itself, players will find diverse challenges each time they play. New gameplay mechanics from tools such as TNT or Bolt Cutters will be crucial for the sniper’s success while the defenders will be able to utilise reinforced walls and locked doors to turn the ship into a nightmarish maze.
