I was copied on all the email too. Some by bcc:, some by forwards.

It was a different bug, but it was similar. It involved crossbowmen in
wind. This one involves crossbowmen in the frontline. Both contradicted
the rules. One was fixed, one wasn't. There was a re-run, albeit
unofficial.

You are correct in that it was more of a suggestion by Rich rather than
pressure. Why not a suggestion from Rich over the new crossbowmen bug
though? (Answered below?)

Probably true.
