hm sometimes only high moral can win a battle

not to mention that imperial forces were attacked from multiple directions and there was confusion after the death of Thrawn.

it isnt numbers that win a battle

numbers can be decisive. In WWII Germany lost because aliies and Soviet union had much more tanks, airplanes and simply men to put to action.

Or it could be the other way around, at Helms Deep the orc guys had like over ten thousand or something and still lost

When the Sun shines irectly to your eyes and many hundred horseman are attacking you are quite died whatever your numbers are.

Exactly, numbers arent everything

Not if you have a line or 8 of people with shields and pointy sticks.

numbers are important. Numbers are more important in a battle than Quality. But not everything.

Slornie · « **Reply #49 on:** June 15, 2007, 07:22:21 AM »

it depends, in some situations quantity is preferable to quality - for example if the droid army on Naboo in EpI had been comprised exclusively of the higher quality Droideka's (albeit in much smaller numbers), the outcome would have been considerably different. Whereas in the case of the Clone's executing Order 66, the quantity of clones against the quality of the Jedi won the day.

Meyer · « **Reply #50 on:** June 15, 2007, 07:33:06 AM »

But even the droidekas would have been shut down after the destruction of the command ship.

Slornie · « **Reply #51 on:** June 15, 2007, 07:40:39 AM »

i thought Droideka's could operate independently from a central computer ?

EDIT: before Naboo it was the norm for them to operate from a central computer, but after that debacle it was considered better to have then controlled independently.

But the point is, if they had Droideka's instead of the normal battle droids on Naboo, the Jedi Qui Gon and Obi Wan wouldnt have been able to rescue Queen Amidala, or release the pilots for the N1 fighters, in order to effect the eventual victory.

Meyer · « **Reply #52 on:** June 15, 2007, 08:14:09 AM »

I think they could have used Force to help them.

Slornie · « **Reply #53 on:** June 15, 2007, 08:18:09 AM »

maybe, but if it were that easy wouldnt they have done so when they were outside the bridge on the control ship ?

its well documented that many Jedi fled from Droideka's

Meyer · « **Reply #54 on:** June 15, 2007, 11:22:53 AM »

And I have always wondered why.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #55 on:** June 15, 2007, 02:07:11 PM »

Two double bareled blaster cannons and shields?
I sure would run from them

Meyer · « **Reply #56 on:** June 15, 2007, 03:59:13 PM »

they could just throw them around. but this has nothing to do with Bilbringi

Kratas · « **Reply #57 on:** June 15, 2007, 06:11:41 PM »

if thrawn had had time to unveil that gdp he could of won dead or alive

Meyer · « **Reply #58 on:** June 16, 2007, 03:22:52 AM »

propably but not neccesarily.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #59 on:** June 16, 2007, 11:44:58 AM »

Maybe shipyard warfare isnt Thrawn's thing, at Sluis Van, his plot with the miners is foiled and at Bilbringi he gets stabbed

Poll

Could Thrawn have been able to win the battle of Bilbringi, even against the combined forces of Rebel Alliance and Smuggler's Alliance?
