Thank you for your opinion i need to test xbow vs orcs (i am new so never had a fight with them)
For me main problem is enemy archers who can kill my brothers without shields really fast and in this case i saw that +2 range really does matter besides Aimed Shot has even higher accuracy at max distance that xbow usual shot and that is what drives me mad that xbow is something more like mid range weapon.
Btw have you tried giving xbows/range weapons to your first row? how it works?
