    Because they haven't got any ranged weapon, attackers armed with
ranged
weapons should draw chits against these troops first. If the Melee
Militia
troops survive, then they can draw chits against their opponent.
    I would suggest no effect against Powered Armour (PA) troops, as the
PA
armour would be impenetrable to spears and axes.

the PA armour would be impenetrable to bows and crossbows.

For both types, they are usually drawn up into big lines, as perfect
shooting targets. So, make the chit validity to kill them, say, RED
instead
of YELLOW.
