Quote:</em></strong><hr>i wont quote battles... but i will say that archery has more of an effect on an opposing army than just the casulities inflicted.... archery can control an area surrounding a unit by sheer presense...without combat....no major infantry force was compleaty wasted beacause no general of a major infantry force told his troops to just stand there untill you die.<hr><br>

Well.... this is in fact also incorrect.<br>
<br>
Example: Napoleonic commander's would often leave their troops exposed to hour-long bombardment by enemy artillery. It was thought worse for the morale of a unit (or perhaps just unsporting? ) to order it to take cover, than to allow it to suffer casaulties. <p>Strategy <br>
