Okay, this is why I was suggesting having small GROUPS of archers instead of
one or two. Yes, an archer shooting at another archer with a shieldman protecting
them will not have a good chance of getting a kill. But 5 archers shooting will
have a much better chance of taking out that protected archer. Same goes for
engine crews although I don't think archers would have many opportunities to
attack engine crews. We usually just hunker down and wait until they run out
of ammo or a sally force tries to take one out.

Yes, we do. This is why I want archers at all the War Practices.

Also, we're going to see if there will be a target shoot war point as well.
This is something that will be discussed next weekend in Meredies.
