Archery

[Brandy Blue]

Thanks for the clarification. Note that military architects often tried to avoid the situation you describe - that is, once a wall is breached archers are of little use in preventing the attacker from pressing the advantage. The outer walls would be protected by a keep or inner walls, which would allow a second line of defense and, sure enough, a chance for archers to attack from cover and a height advantage. I expect you know that already, but I figure I might as well put it in so people don't get the impression that a breached wall automatically meant the fight was over.

Now you mention it, I did put things more strongly than I meant it. Archers would not, alone and by themselves, defeat an enemy attack. I never said they did, but I can see how you might take it that way.

So lets meet on line so my vanilla archers can pawn your seige engines and Chivalric Knights! Or maybe not ... :)
