Back rank archers firing as in RTW.... (merged thread)

[Puzz3D]

Just to confirm, isn't this very similar to how Palamedes said it will work, or is there a subtle difference I'm missing:

Palamedes doesn't specify how they are reducing the effectiveness of back ranks. It could be by reduced accuracy or by fewer men firing. Reduced accuracy would be a more severe penalty because it would waste arrows.

When I tried deploying in deep formations it seemed like all archers did shoot so I guess accuracy is reduced.
