"KEEP FIRING ON THEIR POSITION! Half of the right line, come with me, we're gonna flank 'em, Officer RAM, 5 soldiers would be nice."
Fire my weapon at any bowman inbound, I handle infantry with my longsword.

"What are you crazy? Let the cavalry do their job, let the infantry do their job and let the bowmen do their job."

Bowmen take shots at each other. Calvary move to enact the plan. General sees this and moves.

Change of plans, 1st squad hits the infantry once, breaks off and follows squad 2.

Bowmen should go in staggered formation.

Question to the DM, would staggered formation help against archers in this game?

I here the staggered formation bit but until I get some idea of the distances involved I don't want to be out of formation if we ever reach the enemy.

I've lost 3 men with staggered formation, you've lost how many without it?

Yeah, Staggered formation helps against archers. Also to jonathan you have got some very lucky rolls as well.

hmmm, given that we only seem to move 3 spaces per turn and the enemy infantry seem to be in a mess my infantry will adopt staggered formation.
