Playing a campaign with units that level up at my FLGS. One of the Tau players took a special rule of Sniper, which reads as follows.

Sniper: Wounds caused by this unit's Shooting attacks are allocated by his controlling player, rather than the opposing player.

Does he still have to follow wound allocation, or can he just stack all the wounds on models he wants to remove?

he still has to follow wound allocation rules.

he basically gets to pick the moderls that take the wounds, but he can't stack them all on one guy.

This rule is like eyes of vengance for telion and something for vindicare assasains.

What it does is if you have, say, 23 wounds caused by this squad [WOW!] against say, 7 guys, all members of the squad take 3 wounds [7*3=21] This leaves you with two wounds.

usually, you [the guy allocating] could put it on your nothing trooper [G.I stuportrooper] and your other nothing trooper, so your sergeant, special weaps and heavy weaps don't take a wound. but, in this case, you get to put two wounds on whom ever you wish, so GI stuportrooper gets to live, but SI flamortrooper dies, because he is hit four times rather then three.

Really, this ruling doesn't work with the GW defined idea [as I've heard it from many GW staff] "The reason they don't necessarially all target the same guy, is that even if that trooper with a flamer dies, another joe bluck can pick up that flamer and keep chewting." So, I don't know wether you specifically have to kill the trooper AND senor flamer weapon, but y'know.
