(PHB 2000 Survival Kit p. 9, or pick any warrior from MM). 50 such longbowmen at 400 ft --> 4 range increments --> -8 to hit --> need natural 20 to hit. Assume 1d8 damage kills target half the time. In one round 50 shots / 20 to hit / 2 for kills = 1 man killed.In one round, fireball encompasses and kills about 40 or 50 men.There's a lot of interesting speculation in this thread, but the hard fact is that the numbers/ available defensive spells/ level of troops specified in PHB-DMG-MM don't bear up to scrutiny.</blockquote>
