ANST - Combat archers

[harry billings]

>From my limited experience archers trying to take out engines is a wast of
arrows if the engine is protected, shooting at other archers that have a
shield man with them is also a wast of arrows. (shot at Talon 6 time with a
shild man blocking each one) Once the lines have engaged kill the spear men
and pole arms on the other side so our spear men pole men can kill there
shield men then our shield men can run through and kill the engines and
archers. Killing problem targets is a good thing (archers in tower C/C
personel). 
We need training as units. I will be at Three Kings and hope to be at Autumm
Melee's and will be at Archers Revel. Don't know yet about Gulf War :(.

Sounds like fun.
