Yes, crossbowmen begin life with a first strike. Archers generally can add first strikes as promotions as well, so you could face a crossbowmen with 3-5 first strikes and be dead before you ever swung the mace. See this unit encyclopedia.
aahhh, okaaayyy... well, i've underestimated crossbowmen. i'm going to investigate first-strike for future combat.
