Title: Denote Ranged Special Forces

Summary: Tell Special Forces apart from each other on scout reports and army lists.

Details: We have all been on one side or the other of this; I have been on both. You cannot tell melee Special Forces apart from ranged Special Forces on scout reports or in army lists. This could be fixed by simply splitting the unit type into two unique descriptors, or perhaps an (R) after Special Forces in the case of ranged ones. Exact range need not be included, as it is not with Archers.

Benefits: A marshal would know exactly what kinds of Special Forces he had under his command, or be able to plan based on what the enemy has brought.

Possible Exploits: I feel that not having it at all is practically an exploit; a scout or a marshal ought to be able to tell dead-eyed forest snipers/elite crossbowmen/ranged SF apart from unstoppable barbarians/heavy infantry/whatever you want to call melee SF.
