Alatien

Very interesting - again shows the value of testing.

BTW I tried testing against AI as Milan using their Genoese Crossbowmen (non-militia) against basic longbowmen and I found that the AI crossbowmen start at long range but then as the battle proceeds they advance to short range by themselves. They advance one to three times during the battle - essentially move in for the kill when they are winning the exchange. You might want to run that scenario just to watch the AI do that.
