Arcane Stuff - Way of the Bow

When this unit makes a ranged combat attack, if it hasn't moved or made another attack this turn, its ranged dice hit on ties this combat.

This ability does not logically stack. A unit with two ready Way of the Bow icons is going to operate identically to a unit with only one.
With Way of the Bow active, a roll of 2 will score a hit against a phantom defense die, and a roll of 6 will always hit against any defense die roll.
Way of the Bow has no effect when defending, or during a close combat attack.
Way of the Bow is incredibly powerful. It not only does more damage than a normal ranged attack, but it is remarkably resistant to the number of defense dice deployed by the target.
You can issue special orders and regroup a unit without making it ineligible to use Way of the Bow. The prohibition is against moving or attacking before you shoot.

This ability used to apply to all attacks. Now it only applies if the attacking unit is fresh. The idea is that the Kyudo archers only get their special attack if they've set themselves and taken careful aim before firing.
Way of the Bow was a major contributing factor to the belief that ranged combat in general and the Han in particular were overpowered. This change brings things more into balance.
Under the new rules, Way of the Bow is still useful as a defensive ability, to take out close combat units harrying your other archers, or to prevent turtle units from getting into your rear areas.
