Why doesnt the Ambush skill work with a Crossbow? It would seem to me it really takes the same skill for that initial camo'd shot for a bow as it does for a crossbow. I am guessing this is just a bug?

As far as I know, it's not a bug. Just a decision Dulrik made.

My guess is that there was considerations with siegebows and ambush working together, possibly being too strong. Which is silly since using ambush is not widely used, and scouts are hardly overpowered.

At the time, siegebows working with ambush would have been too devastating. If you'll recall, ambush with the melee weapons killed in one shot. Or you could double ambush with haste. I also seem to recall that bows were considerd to be the scouts weapon of choice and that only ambushing with bows was to encourage that.
