Run back home is correct imo, Britons don’t get their cheap TCs or extra range until Castle Age.
All of this advice is for not
Your arrows are useless.
Your numbers mean nothing
The stomp and cadence of our hooves will drown out all but fear
Behold the crash of our swelling tide rends even stone
Our knights will break your walls and flood your base
None will be safe
All will perish!

You can always add your own skirms in Feudal.
You already have the production buildings and half the upgrades.
Also doing damage and then falling back behind your walls is absolutely legit.
Skirms are horrible for counter attacks, and if you did damage and macro as good as your opponent, you are probably faster in Castle.
And xbows with Bodkin destroy Feudal skirms.
Britons are even more favoured in this, as you get +1 range for free and can kite them to death.
You can:
– attack earlier with your archers.
– open MAA then archers.
– open pure archers and eventually add 2-3 scouts to kill the skirms.
– open pure archers but walk into the minimal range of skirms so that they can’t shoot back.
