This is something Iolo and I have talked about for a while. The fact is, we
do not have enough archers for true "Rain of arrows" volley fire. But we
could easily do "directed volley fire". This would not work very well on
the field battle, as the archers would quickly become targets for cav units,
but in the fort battle...5 archers all saying "Aim for the big Duke in the
red surcoat"...well, life would then not be very nice for that person. And
remember, Brass hats usually have lots of folks around them. Collateral
damage is very useful, too.
