but they suck at extreme range i think, and unless it's in the city, it takes ages to recruit them, draft or no draft.
unless i misunderstood tim (from a while back), longer range doesn't mean they cause more damage closer than someone with shorter range.
ie.. exact same stat shooting at exact same range (let's say 4), with exact same roll, a max range 4 cause same damage as a max range 5.
But they get many more rounds of shooting at them from a distance before engaging in melee. And ranged SF aren't as pitiful in melee as archers are.
