But the data does not include the whole of the situation, either.
Suppose I had come to the war, and brought 2 crossbows, my own and a
'spare'. That would count as two bows in your data, but would not
necessarily equate to two archers on the field. I could simply be
bringing the second bow in case mine (or someone else's) breaks down on
the field.
Not to say your data's bad, or even that it's not a valid starting
point, since their people are as likely to get spares inspected as we
are. Just that it's not definitive.
Second, what are the numbers for the two sides, not just our two
Kingdoms? I'd be interested to know if they have more 'archer friendly'
allies than we do.
Just a couple of thoughts.
