Yup that would explain it. Doh!

I'll certainly bring along a squad. I haven't decided whether to field them.
I think I'm still better off with long bows.
I seem to recall that historically crossbows replaced longbows because while
they took longer to load aim and fire, any idiot could load a crossbow and
fire it reasonably accurately. Muskets offered even more fatality with the
same lowered training and physical prowess requirement. Strong, highly
skilled longbowmen were hard to come by, and more expensive to train than
drone crossbowmen or musket armed infantry (musketeers?). As I understand it,
this little bit of history didn't actually make it into the game.
Just a tick...what's that sound? The steady, ominous whoosh of displaced
air....no! It can't be! The hammer of discipline! Duck!
<whoosh>
Hey hey!
<whoosh, thump>
Ow!
<whoosh, thump, just for good measure>
OW! Alright already! Sorry. I'll be fielding a squad of redcoats armed with
long barrelled rifles, complete with bayonets.
<rubs head>
That really hurt....

Still baldly going...
