 ==== Ranged Attacks ====
-  * Maximum Range for ranged attacks is 300'. This is essentially the width/length of our table (except on the diagonal).  I thought there was a disadvantage to long-range shots, but can't find it anymore in the text.  Shall we say shots are at disadvantage at 150' (30") on the table?  //Sounds good to me!//
-  * Base rules have no provision for thrown weapons.  I've put a range of 50' (10") in the gear book.
-  * Any time a target is in cover (behind tree, another guy, horse, wagon, box, fighting from a wall or stockade), the shooter is at disadvantage.  Furthermore, if target is in a roofed area through a window, he is automatically AC 17, and if he's behind an arrow slit, he's AC 21.

   * Ranged and thrown weapons are noted as such in their descriptions.
   * Thrown weapons have a maximum range of 50' (10") while ranged weapons may reach the entire battlefield.
