@Bill and Ben
I'm responding to "Bill & Ben now know how to use the crossbows". If it's actually Bill and Bob, go with Bill and Bob. I get they are likely to run, but as long they shoot once, we are better off. I suspect as well 'Bill and Ben the flowerpot men' had something to do with the juxtaposition of the two names.
Yep, that's right, flowerpot men. :p
Looks like I screwed up at some point then - its definitely the two merchants with the crossbows although Ben (victim) is a man-at-arms....

I don't honestly think any marching order can hold up other than 'front and back'.
Yes, front and back is about all I really need, plus who might be helping with the stretchers and assigned to watching the prisoners (not that they're likely to run off or cause any trouble after the PCs so resoundingly thumped them earlier in battle). A vague "people not at the front or back take turns" is good enough.

I have a sling as well by the way.
Only a proficiency it would seem - not listed in your equipment.
