<div>Ironwyrm,</div>

<div>Relax. Breathe.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Take it in the way most people are, it means one handbow, one crossbow, or two handbows. Can't be two crossbows.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>OR, instead of jumping to conclusions, email Egil and ask him for a clarifications. The best ideas are often misunderstood, and if people don't _ask_ they'll only be operating with limited information.</div>

<div>Regarding the ravine, I too was disappointed with the "limited" arrow rule. Hmm, it meant more trips back to res. Oh well. I did it. I still killed LOTS of people. I found I shot a bit slower, and still had lots of fun. I think the rule said 15 arrows. I did not count exact quantities in my quiver per reload, I just used some discretion on loading. These are the days we should all be promoting CA, not complaining (even when your heart knows better). My local branch went from 35+ CA'ers to 3, because all the "old time" people refused to adapt. I now have the task of rebuilding the numbers.</div>

<div>It looks to me like you could have a crossbowman, but he'd have to be paired with a longbowman/etc. So you could have a crossbowman on a team, but not a team with 2 crossbows.<br><br>Charles, <br>BG<br><br>Richard Threlkeld wrote:
