However, missile units can only reaction fire in their ZOC, which extends only ONE HEX in front of the unit. It's not as if their a whole killing field in front of each archer when you attack them, you only have to worry about that when you get right in front of the archer. There is at most only 2 reaction fires and only if two attackers are right in front of the missile unit. Attackers will have to take a hit, but even though you're disorgnanized, you will get the same odds on the attack you are about to make becuse the CRT looks at.defender status not the attacker. Berg confused REaction Fire with Return fire.
Return fire is used against other missile shooters.
Richard said he thought he was worried about blitzing tactics but such multiple reaction fire is not really the problem. He is not limited when he starts in front of an inf. Note that even a single inf. Even cavalry can make a charge that start from the front of enemy infantry. One thing a DTPer sort of has to assume, is that his clientele is fairly knowledgeable in the hobby.
