Yes, it's how I've done it and it seems me reasonable. But I also used appropriate movement abilities.

I use the archer's level of defeat as an indication of the attacker's advantage when he finally makes contact. Maybe the archer simply runs out of arrows, or the attacker gets too close, so the archer drops his weapon and draws his sword (marginal defeat), or maybe the archer did not have enough time to change weapon and so is caught slightly off-guard (minor defeat) and so on...
I also run the approach and the actual fight as two different contests, the second taking place only if the archer has been defeated.
