I guess it's a simulationist throwback! :-)

I was thinking that it's far less likely someone would remain unhurt in a mass volley than versus individual archers. In a heroic story though there's a place for unlikely stuff.

In the narrative sense it'll depend on whether I want it to be difficult or not...

then I can assign abilites and AP as necessary.

Massed Archers:

for example.
