Ps (O) archers v. crossbowmen
« on: January 22, 2010, 11:49:47 AM »
If armed with bow, Ps (O) can support eligible Bd/Sp/Pk/Ax from a 2nd or 3rd rank, if with crossbow (or sling) from a 2nd rank only.

Is there any reason ever to field Ps (O) crossbowmen over Ps (O) archers if you've got the choice? (Well, besides the fact I bought crossbowmen figs for my medieval German mercenaries.)

Fielding crossbowmen is pointless (unless you have no option). Buy archers only.

Only if the crossbow Ps are the only option - otherwise as Landmeister says - buy archers instead.

Thanks for the replies.

Oh well, nobody accused Ps costing of making sense anyway ...
