I just got an idea of a minor house rule: (at least some) Captains/Chieftains etc. has their Shooting value increased by 1 step. So a Captain of Rohan or a Haradrim Chieftain has fight 4/3+. There's no problem I want to solve, but since a Captain is better than the average warrior in almost every other aspect, it would make sense if he also was better at shooting. Especially since Captains pay 5 points for a bow.
Not really anything earth-shaking, but I'd like to hear some thoughts about it.

True that captians should be more skilled than the standard warriors at shooting but that sort of bonus can be represented through might. Also captains are meant to be combat leaders. If you want a generic shooting hero you they do exist (kings huntsman, hasharin etc etc)

I would be okay with it, although some heros would suddenly have kinda wierd stats, like Legolas would suddenly be less accurate (yes I know he has a special rule) than a regular captain, and regular Uruk captains would be more accurate than Lurtz.

imo Lurtz desperately needs shooting rules. Even if it were just -1 shoot value and "Friendly models do not count as 'in the way' to Lurtz' shots" to represent how he shoots Boromir in the midst of combat, would be awesome!

I'd be in favor if that as well. I honestly thought they would make Lurtz more along the lines of Shagrat War Leader.

Yeah, I was not thinking of improving ALL captains, but perhaps wood elf captains could be upgraded to Mirkwood Guards as well for +5 points.
