		... sadly, this is all what is known: 
 
 
RANGED ATTACKS 
 
A unit's defense does not matter when being attacked by an arrow. 
Precision just determines which square the projectile will hit. 
 
The attack roll on the projectile is 10+2d6, 
while the victim's roll is 10+shield defense modifier+2d6. 
 
A tower shield for example has a defense modifier of 4.
