Yes - there's unlikely to be more than 100 warriors in the Javelin (I hope!) so that's the two masteries I mentioned. Further, this seems the sort of thing you might well do as a prepared ritual, ready to go off at the right moment. So if you equip each warrior with a javelin, and things like that they might claw back some of that. Further, you can probably appeal to "community" support for the 100 (they are unlikely to unwillingly) and all sorts of other frightening (for a GM) things.

I would probably resort to the "Yes, they get thrown one mile, not an inch more, not an inch less." piece of misery.
