George,

The Archer as it appears in Fugue is my creation and was not part of a
collaboration. The Rococo variant thread discessed the merits or range 1
vs range 1 or 2 vs range 2 only Archers and whether special considerations
should apply to attacking the King. No one before me said a word about an
Archer that needed a spotter for long shots. I got the idea from artillery
rules from some of Avalon Hill's war games, where certain units need a
spotter to hit a target at beyong half range or in certain defensive
positions. To my knowledge this concept has not been used in a
Chess/Ultima variant before--I am open to correction if I err in this
assertion.
