Correct me if I'm wrong, but in mythological History...Trolls weren't ogre like at all, Actually they were refered to as "Rime Giants", and Ymer one of these Giants was said (In norse Myth) To create the seas, first cows, and so on and so forth with his dead body, they were very smart, but very niave, it would probably be more Historically correct if they did wielded something like a bow?
And as for "Fierce" the bow was then, in medieval times as a Howitzer Cannon, or Artillary is now. Long range, out of danger, but inflicted substantial damage to the foe, this is one of the main reasons country such as England, are around today, and Empires such as the Assyrians are remembered even now, over 2 thousand years prior to their defeat.
Maybe they have two types of attacks, one as a Melee unit when close to the target at hand, and as a Ranged unit from afar? Or it is said that Trolls were very fierce creatures, maybe it is a special attack, such as "Rage" or something to that essence, which allows it to become a Melee type unit.
