Re: (TFT) line of sight: archery. Opinions?

Sure, everyone >could< move sideways at exactly the right time for the
arrow to go through. BUt in a fight, it's less than likely. Hence rolling
to miss.

In your example, yes, he must roll to miss. Though in my SCA experience,
it's a lot more likely that A just isn't going to shoot if he'll hit o. So
the equivalent machanic would be rolling to miss, and if A fails, he just
doesn't shoot. But TFT wise, it's a roll to miss, and failure means A hit
o.

More important to the current conversation would be indirect fire. At what
range does an archer no longer have to roll to miss intervening figures?
