What's the verdict on archers?

[Gandalf Parker]

I dont understand why I can attack rearmost but not fire at rearmost. Especially with longbows

When you attack the rear you eventually close up on the intended target and can choose who it is. Arrows do not have eyes and cannot decide whom to hit when they get to the rear.
