Even so, it'll inevitably still get used on melee attacks in add-ons, so in my opinion there's still a good reason to change it.

Re: [mainline] Melee "marksman"
I have another idea. What about:
True Strike
?
Advantages:
True Strike
?
Advantages:
- Doesn't conflict with the name of any unit (AFAICT).
- Unambiguous in referring to melee - "to strike" means, in this context : "to aim and usually deliver a blow, stroke, or thrust" - all of them involve contact, delivery to the actual target.
- Isn't specific to a single kind of melee weapon: You can strike someone with your hand, with a blunt instrument, with a blade etc.
- Two words rather than one.
- Not an adjective (but then - we already have 'Leadership', 'Formation' in the UtBS campaign and so on.)

Re: [mainline] Melee "marksman"
This seems like a pretty reasonable suggestion. The two words could also be merged together as "truestrike". In my opinion it works equally for melee and ranged, but if people are that attached to marksman I suppose it could also be used for melee only.

Re: [mainline] Melee "marksman"
I still think marksman is better for ranged, but this is the best suggestion for melee in this thread. We probably shouldn't merge it though unless we also merge "first strike" (which doesn't seem necessary).
