<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Ranged combat isn't exclusive to projectiles. It can include placed charges, traps, manipulation of near any kind, or even projections of one's self to fight as though they are up close without actually being up close. I know you all have a few who can do that, and there's a fellow general of mine who is also capable of that.

Charges require a signal or timer, cannot be directly manipulated, and are altered easily. Same goes for traps. Projections are essentially oneself, depending on the situation. Regardless of these, they all offer less control than being there directly.
