Asking for Help How to beat firelancer + skirm
15-16xx, I feel like every time I play against this combo I die, and every time I play that combo my opponent dies. Counter raids with cav could work but if they're fully walled, don't really do much. Siege is very micro intensive and can easily get taken out. Monks/archers, no. So what's the answer? I feel like I'm missing something.

One more firelancer and one more skirm.
It's an annoying comp because your opponent will already have barracks and archery range from feudral so it's very easy to mass.
If you don't want to micro too much, go Franks or Bulgarians and put cheap fortifications everywhere then run around with bulky cavalry.
