Table: Missile Fire in Individual Combat

The table below should be used for ranged attacks by individual soldiers (i.e. does not apply to catapults, cannons, dragon breath etc.):

From Chainmail, Appendix B.

NOTE: Thrown weapons in Individual Combat. The individual Missile Fire table has no information on thrown weapons. There are two ways to solve this problem: 1. treat a thrown weapon attack as a melee attack with the appropriate weapon (see  the individual Melee table) that only lasts one melee turn and can only be answered by other thrown weapons; or 2. treat the thrown weapon attack as a Short Bow attack with a 3" range and that can only be used at short range, as well as the limitations mentioned in the note above.
