Editing Melee penalty

'''Melee penalty''' is a term for [[shooter]]s' handicap in hand-to-hand combat that causes them to inflict only half of the [[damage]] they would do if they were [[ranged attack|attacking at range]]. Shooters can not use their ranged attack if an enemy troop is located adjacent to it. They have to either move or engage into hand-to-hand combat.

Several shooters have ''no melee penalty''' as [[special ability]], which allows them to do the same amount of damage as with ranged attack. However, [[Archer and marksman|Marksmen]] and [[Wood and grand elf|Grand Elves]], who have [[double attack]] as a special ability, will only attack once in melee combat.
