I didn't notice anyone talking about formations of archers in rules terms, personally. The problem is, in what way can an 'Injured' result be applied & explained to an individual who remained out of range of the enemy, but lost while using his Ranged Combat to attack them?
Certainly you should 'allow for individual consequences', but, compared to melee, these do not seem very convincing except in specific, and usually rare, circumstances. There isn't an apparent 'standard' form of defeat.
