2. Crossbows are extremely powerful when used in direct fire mode. But if a friendly unit is between the target and the shooter, it will use indirect fire, which is not as good. So if you chase the AI xbows behind its spear lines, it will use indirect fire, and be much less effective.

Others??

I don't see how #2 is cheesy...

As far as cheesy goes I think the cheesiest thing to do is reload from a save game when things don't turn out your way. That's like the Big Cheese Granddaddy of All Cheese. I've been guilty of doing it from time to time and it shames me
