Archers firing and meleeing in the same turn
« Topic Start: June 15, 2011, 08:38:09 AM »
If archers fire at an enemy and are then engaged in melee combat in the same turn, do they deal fewer hits in the melee? I ask because this happened in a battle report:

Turn 9:
Personal Bodyguard (2) fire on Peasant Militia (3), scoring 290 hits.

Close Combat (Attacker Line 1):
Personal Bodyguard (2) score 73 hits on Peasant Militia (3).

Turn 10:
Close Combat (Attacker Line 1):
Personal Bodyguard (2) score 151 hits on Peasant Militia (3).

Turn 11:
Close Combat (Attacker Line 1):
Personal Bodyguard (2) score 151 hits on Peasant Militia (3).

Turn 12:
Close Combat (Attacker Line 1):
Personal Bodyguard (2) score 130 hits on Peasant Militia (3).

And so on. They were attacking the same enemy unit (there was only one), but there's a huge difference between the hits dealt when they also fired and the hits dealt when they didn't. I'm not complaining, as it makes sense, I just want to know if that's the reason for it.
