I know this thread is about archers, but an interesting thing happened with my Mixed Infantry(that was actually good for once).

After doing the typical charge in instead of shooting, they broke through the front lines. After that they kept moving forward and shooting backwards as the undead tried to catch them like a skirmish tactic.
THIS. THIS IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT BATTLE MASTER.
Glorious battle, tough enemies, combat units that do things that might make sense in the real world (well, except for leaving those poor archers undefended...), it's all great.
So...what settings were they on? aggressive/normal/defensive, block/line/skirmish? It would be really cool if setting them to skirmish actually did something like what you just saw.
Also...what was their weapons range? I think they would have won if their range had been 4 rows.
