Obviously, you won't be able to recruit archer units playing as Great Britain, but why weren't archers still utilized by colonial armies? I mean if you consider that your average Joe Musketeer was pretty much worthless beyond 50 meters, volleys of arrows would have been devastating against unarmed redcoats.
Is it because of improved artillery or just because a decent archer took too long to train? I just have to think that several hundred Longbowmen could have caused quite a headache for Napoleon if positioned right.
It sounds like a goofy question, and I imagine the better artillery had something to do with it, but as a history major, I can't help but wonder.
