Once movement is complete it is time to work out your shooting. Troops armed with bows, crossbows, or other missile weapons may shoot at any enemy targets they can see. You may also shoot any war machines such as stone throwers, bolt throwers, and cannons, although the rules for these are covered in a separate section of the rulebook.

There is no particular order in which shooting must be resolved. Nominate one of your units you want to shoot with and select the enemy target you wish to shoot at. For example, you might choose to shoot your Elven Archers at the Goblin Chariot or at a unit of Goblin spearmen. Once you have declared your target measure the range and resolve shooting using the rules below. Continue until you have shot with each unit or war machine.
