Suggested inversion: fight battle without archery FIRST, re-fight with
archery,
glean & inspect while next scenario w/o archery is being set up & fought,
re-fight second scenario with archery; repeat as needed. 

Might be better to use this format where the differing battle scenarios 
cover different parts of the event site: open field, bridge, woods, 
fortifications, etc.
