It's possible the ettin is too far away - try moving it closer.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

That could be a bit of a problem. I think I'll move my men closer.

What's melee range?

You can set up the interior of the ettin range, the fortifications, and where they are to stand as a burrow. Then under active training schedule, designate a month to defend that burrow. When that month arrives, they go "Sheesh, there is a ettin in our burrow." They should get into a spot, where they can fire. I think station is mainly for lookouts, or melee troops, you want to place at a chokepoint.

Should you fail to comply, strict !!disciplinary actions!! will be taken. Also, we feel we should remind you that one of the "criminals" on your list is the chief medical dwarf. If he ends up too badly injured to do his job, you will be fired. Out of a magma cannon.
Sincerely,
The Administration

There used to be a problem, about archers firing through fortifications at enemy, on the same level. This might be a dumb suggestion, but check to see if your archers, have bolts in their quivers

look at the drawf in question [v] go to the inventory and then select the quiver and check it for the bolts.
