Re: kooky idea (combat archery, so if you don't like CA...do

I'm sure everybody's played some variation on the tower defense games out there. So picture teams of 5 CA's, a "tower", a path laid out, five or so opposing people wearing enough armor to get shot at, one hit each the first time through. Etc etc etc. JB could you describe it a little more...
