[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6829935, member: 6669384"] I think I'm getting what you're envisioning, and why we're seeing different things. You're seeing a crowded dance floor, or an angry mob, people pressed together and in constant movement. We're seeing a single row of people standing five feet apart, and behind them a row of very large people standing ten feet apart, also in constant motion. You're equating this double row of people to an iron wall with a tiny hole, intermittently obstructed. I don't think that's a fair assessment. Think of a football quarterback looking through the line, trying to find his receiver. He's got huge people in front of him, many waving their arms to try and obscure his vision and knock that pass down, others trying to break through and flatten him. Yet he gets that pass off far more often than he fails. Okay, the opposing line isn't 8 feet tall and ten feet wide, but then nobody is standing in marked five and ten foot squares, with discrete space around them. And since the [I]Fireball[/I] can air-burst, the quarterback analogy is valid: He can pass over their line and still get the ball where he needs it. They aren't a solid wall, they're people and monsters who need enough room around and between them to swing a sword or a club. [/QUOTE]
