Default Re: OT: Archery in combat
I would think that one sides artillery would make the other sides Longbow Archers hard to deploy If such a hypothetical use of archers was ever considered.
I saw something on History Channel that showed that the battle field in Agincourt was super muddy. The French bogged down and were then targeted at long range by the archers.
I should have bought stock in the History Channel!

Favorite SNL skit: What if Napoleon had a B-52, What if Sparticus had a Piper Cub.

Now when we talk Longbow, we're not talking about the Helicopter Gunship...right?
