Well, not necessarily. Turner's very agile and could dodge arrows, and usually sneaks up on his enemies.Turner will be dead before he get's within 50 yards, maybe, of his enemies
Crossbowmen would run out of arrows, too? And it depends, but usually it's the other way around- if you're talking about rapid, swift ambush, a crossbow would be more ideal, because you can load it ahead of time and then just pop up and fire- a longbow (or even a shortbow) requires time to prime and fire. It's still faster over time, but if a guy with a loaded crossbow popped up in front of an archer with a longbow, he'd get the shot off quicker.Actually, wouldn't crossbows be better for continuous combat? In a long combat, the archers tire and run out of arrows, so crossbowmen fare better than in e.g. a skirmish where they might get one volley off and that's it.
That said I'm generally against the use of bows in the game, yeah, I was just saying "if they were put in, then this was done for them, I would be cool with it."
