I've had mixed results with them during games as i think i overestimated their ability so it's about right i reckon.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255875998586936550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296202536185481186.post-59410336877882896082011-05-10T03:53:15.144-07:002011-05-10T03:53:15.144-07:00Lovely stuff as ever Stuart....as to the ratios by...Lovely stuff as ever Stuart....as to the ratios by 1513 the Longbow was falling out of use as it was a very specialised weapon and required a lifetime of training and not as many people were training so the bill,began to dominate...well thats my take on the readings anyway.Field Marshalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13172146338741003110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296202536185481186.post-24680696593588393182011-05-08T20:42:39.796-07:002011-05-08T20:42:39.796-07:00Too many spelling errors and typos in my last post...Too many spelling errors and typos in my last post- here it is again:<br /><br />Yup, these units are up to the usual standards that we are used to on your blog.
