TK421 Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 yes. they were crap in the game. A real platoon of AT-AT would be as strong as a regiment stormtroopers... stronger. A regiment is, 50 men? But I think Bothan and Elom troops are cool. They appear in the Zahn books too (the Elom). Z'anthr saves the world. Sorry about the mess...

Jahled Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 I think the guy who did the original RebEd got it right, assuming; for example, each Imperial regiment contains troopers, mechanized-support, and limited atmospheric air-cover. My Imperial games contain: Stormtrooper RegimentImperial Army RegimentCommando Regiment(War Droid Regiment)*Dark Trooper Regiment In that order from the outset... *trying to replace, can't think with what though! http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElvisMiggell Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Yeah, but you could replace the war droid regiment with an armoured regiment of at-st's at-at's and at-pt's, this unit would be particularly good for planetary assault, though not so good on the defensive as they are built to move around etc etc. Elvismiggell.

Jahled Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 ...the point I was making is that each regiment was assumed to contain mechanized support such as AT-ATs... http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElvisMiggell Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Yeah, i know what you meant, but if you think about it this would be the logical one to replace the war droids, all the other regiments might have like a squad of 12 atats, but this would have three squads of 12 making 36 or something.

the_mask Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 I just saw I need to update the troops for both sides on my page. I have Stormies, AT-ATs, AT-STs, Gamorreans (started as a joke at first), Royal Guardsmen for the Darktroopers, but since the royal guards were on the run at this time we can't use them. http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal guards would be too powerful IMHO. There were what, less than a 100 in Crimson Empire and they took out several platoons of stormtroopers?

the_mask Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Haven't read it, yet. But that's really too powerful. I made them just about equal to Darktroopers to keep it all balanced. http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElvisMiggell Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Yeah, and a Dark Trooper could in theory take out a rather large amount of Stormtroopers. Elvismiggell.

vakundok Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Excuse me, but is it stated somewhere what does the limited Force control mean in case of the darktroopers? Danger sensitivity for faster reaction and telepathy for faster, uninterraptable coordination maybe ...When I get RebEd I planned to use Regular Infantry (garrison and police force "naval" troopers with probots or similar patrol droids), Inquisitor Division (stormtroopers, scout troopers and medium vehicles such as the AT-ST or the Chariot described by Mara) and Heavy Mechanized Division (AT-ATs).I read somewher about the Arakyd Tank droid which was presented to Thrawn, but he did not accept it. I agrre him, since an AT-AT is nearly unstopable. (Espesially with vibroblades on its back legs. ) And the novel wrote that the technicians found some strange defence mechanism on Wayland that they were unable to use that time.

ElvisMiggell Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Didn't Wayland have a collection of all sorts of things that Palpatine had picked up which would presumably include Dark Side devices that the technicians wouldn't be able to incorporate, i thought that was what they meant?

vakundok Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I don't know what is a "Dark side device", but I think it would be more offensive than deffensive. And it was not just a stored technology like the cloning or the cloaking device. This unknown defence mechanism was mentioned by Pellaeon when Thrawn asked about the energy and defence systems of the residency on Wayland right after the failed attempt to get Leia on Bimissaari in the novel Heir to the Empire.

Trejiuvanat Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 They would have to be very powerful and very expensive.On that device I thik it was the defense mecahnism of Wayland, Batteries, etc... Since Thrawn was taking C'Baoth away the defense of Wayland depended on the fact that it reamined hidden, and the defense systems and the garrisons.. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK421 Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 it is good enought when we use the stats of the dark troopers.. maybe a little bit higher The mount Tantiss has its own defense mechanism, that is what Thrawn means Z'anthr saves the world.

Trejiuvanat Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Was the dark trooper project continued after the destruction of the Arc Hammer?If anything I'm sure Palpy would have taken at least to sets of armor, Phase I and II, and a complete set of schematics, and hid it in Mount Tantiss. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admiral_Antilles Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Well since the Imps use bounty hunters the Rebels *Cough* The New Republic should have Smugglers or Mercenaries. The Idea of Bothan Regiments, PERFECT!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
