That I cannot engage a foe unless I place myself within range of a glaive? Section 1.III.A would certainly seem to indicate that very thing. That would mean that as a Combat Archer I would not be able to engage anyone while in the towers at Bordermarch or if I was on the Curtain Wall by the Sally Port. I could not engage a unit assembling behind the front line in a melee as I did to House Rhoadd at the bridge fight this year at BAM or engage the defenders of the castle at Gothic when they stepped back from the walls. Any unit that cannot strike me is same from my arrows? > > Also there are several mentions of 'Non contact archers' in the Appendix relating to Combat Archery. My understanding is there are no non-contact archers in the Society. > > YIS> Engenulf de Vienville> > > _______________________________________________> Ansteorra mailing list> Ansteorra at lists.ansteorra.org> http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/ansteorra-ansteorra.org
