    @CWO:

    The principle, in a nutshell, states that the shooting accuracy of movie bad guys is inversely proportional to their numbers.

    That is a very accurate statement in the world of cinema.

    I’d say it’s one of those exceptions that proves the rule.  If it took 70,000 to 300,000 Persians (Herodotus claims a figure as high as two-and-a-half million) to kill 300 Spartans, that’s actually a pretty pathetic performance on the part of the Persians.

    It’s a good thing the Principle of Evil Marksmanship isn’t built into the A&A rules.  If that were the case, increasing the size of your attacking force would decrease the chances of rolling a hit against an enemy force.  (Now that would be a bizarre concept for a house rule.)

    True. However, speaking just about shots and arrows, the Persians did get them all.
