MajorFreak if you notice I was talking about early game...
So there is no crossbows around to take up the garrisoning. Later I begin to Change them out.
But they are really good for garrisoning in early game. Imagine you need your entire army from a province to attack. If you train one Urban Militia it might not be enough to stop a Bandit uprising, and the cheap 100 men in one turn is good for loyalty as well. Those are my reasons for using them to garrison. Slowly they vanish again (due to attrition from the Peasant Pincushion).
If you really want to take a smaller castle, but better than Fort they are great at breaking open the gate. I use them for that quite often.

BTW, Danish Crusades are true to history.
You may not care about war, but war cares about you!
