    Default AW: Shooting over the front ranks

    I always deploy my missiles behind the heavier guys. There are a few easy rules you have to obey:

    1. Slingers and archers should be placed more than the depth of their own, loose formation behind the heavy infantry ranks. You won't get any casualties then.

    2. You can leave fire at will active. To my experience, they do not shoot at enemies that are fighting your front ranks at the moment. However, if it gets too hot, turn fire at will off.

    3. If the enemy already routs, and your horsies are hunting them down, don't forget to disable fire at will, or else your cute horses will suffer.

    4. Often, casualties inflicted by friendly fire get healed more often than not.

    5. What leads us to the conclusion that there is no reason to deploy your poor missile guys in the fray in front of your sarissas.
