  Paul Westermeyer,

     I am trying to put together a paper on bombardment by Spelljammeing
ships  and have asked you a number of times to provide a figure for the angle
of the cone formed by possible projectile trajectories to target.

    So far you have not done this despite assuring me you would.  You were
the most vocal opponent to my idea of Bombardment and it effects that I
wanted information that I could attribute to you fitted into this use of
SpellJamming Technology and be more true to the Technology levels present at
the latter half of the Renaissance era.

    I ask once more if you or if anyone could come up with an acceptable
figure for this angle (10 degrees has been proposed for finding bearing to
target.)  If this figure is acceptable or you have a more accurate one
please letme know. 


    At this point this part of the discussion is public once again.  The
question is how accurate do you think that renaissance projectiles were? 
The current angle of opinion is 10 degrees off of target which makes a 20
degree arc of possibility of impact.

                        --Steve
