Question about ranged combat (?bug)

[jmstone]

My units tend to have low chance of hitting when on the square next to the unit they are attacking when using ranged weapons. This seems counter-intuitive. Is it a bug or is there a gameplay reason for it?

Hi its gameplay reasons. We need melee units to be better than ranged units at a distance of 1.

Cheers,

Gordon.
