Your pardon, but I believe this is incorrect. Archers have always 
been able to shoot archers and I do not believe that changes here. 
Yes, the white diamond makes it a bit more confusing as you must not 
shoot a marshal (which is part of why I don't like the White Diamond 
for archers) but not being able to shoot the archers would make them 
(us) incredibly powerful. We are already by far the deadliest folks 
on the field. However, I will try to get us an official ruling if 
anyone will return my calls.
