Uruk-hai Crossbowmen, in BFME 1
The Uruk Crossbowmen are the sole ranged infantry unit for Isengard.
Battle for Middle Earth 1[]
Overview[]
Crossbowmen are specialised ranged unit. They take the greatest weakness of archers - vulnerability - and their greatest strength - damage - and maximise both. They are susceptible to any kind of damage (especially cavlary), but deal terrible wounds themselves; especially if in their offensive formation and equipped with fire arrows. Only elite units like Elven Warriors and Rangers of Gondor surpass them in raw damage.
If well protected, the crossbowmen will be fearsome addition to player's army.

The Uruk-hai are servants of Saruman, bred only to destroy the world of Men.
In the Two Towers film, Saruman armed many of his Uruks with crossbows to kill the men and Elves on the Deeping Wall, which they accomplished.
