The boomstick exchange at four hundred paces was the exchange that both sides had been marching toward, the range where the dwarven-forged weapons on both sides reached the accuracy that made each shot a likely hit rather than a probable miss.
Forty-two thousand Threian boomsticks fired in the rolling volley that the Threian military's training prescribed. The volley was the volley that the Threian army had been delivering since the dwarven trade had first provided the weapons, the coordinated fire that produced a wall of lead that crossed the four-hundred-pace distance in the time that the balls' velocity determined and struck the barbarian formation with the density that forty-two thousand weapons produced.
