Here's one for the AoS folkies
Mar. 19th, 2012 01:48 pmI'm on the home straight with On a Lee Shore and am beginning to worry about my sweeping assumptions.
It sort of stands to reason that one might see the puff of smoke of gun fire before hearing the bang but am I right in assuming that the ball travels more slowly than the bang? also if I substitute chainshot for ball am I right in assuming that it makes a sound as it goes through the air? Or is that only in Hollywood. The devil is, as they say, in the details.
I'd ask big Colin, who makes bangs and whooshes for a living whilst wearing a pirate hat - lovely job, just lovely - only he's not about at the moment.
