Throwing Axemen

[Pollster33]

Hi everyone, just started a dwarves campaign on vanilla TATW and I don't believe my axe throwers were working properly, the animation was them like fist pumping and nothing came out of their hands and I don't think the amo level went down at all either, any ideas on what's wrong?

They are probably at an awkward angle or too many other units in their way for a clear shot. It's happened to me a few times. Like Crossbow units, they generally fire at a straight line and when faced with an obstacle they bend their backs like contortionists firing into the sky or times not firing at all yet you still hear their c.bows going off. Try and get your axeman in a straight line of fire or on a hill above your front line, see if that helps?
