A short scenario.
This one is essentially so the players can actually use an anti-material rifle the way they should be used.
(Note that it's a myth that 12.7mm weapons can't legally be used against personnel, you can use tank cannon on personnel and no one cares. That myth arose because originally the M2HB was an AT weapon and troops were instructed not to fire on personnel and unmask the weapon before the proper target was in its sights.)
Like my scenarios often are the main enemy are marauders. This is a fairly simple scenario that once again requires the PCs to engage with either local civilians or some other stability-operation group from either side. However the group shouldn't be Russian as they turn up in the scenario. Note that if it is the Polish civilians who get the group to deal with the Sniper they might provide the group with a venerable but deadly PTRS-41 14.5mm AT rifle fitted with a modified PSO-1 sight, otherwise a military group will provide a native weapon. If they do get the PTRS then this even more than other anti-material rifles puts out a huge muzzle blast and concussion that makes this thing almost impossible to hide as well as being extremely long and hard to move.
I didn't mention it but none of the civilians should be military age (15 to 50) as in Poland people of that age will be in the army. As such only children and the elderly are "civilians" in this setting.
