Lord Vader I mean you could still survive if you just spread out a bit from the fleet jumping from hyperspace.if you watch the scene when they are leaving closely you can see that some ships made it out but most of them got rammed by the devastator
I find the Battle of Mimbam to be one of the most fascinating, interesting and meaningful battles of the Imperial era. It showcases localised early rebellion and the warfare and battles which when all combined together brought down the Galactic Empire and kick-started system wide insurgencies and rebellions.
But really 14-16. 17 and 18 were deadly but more survivable. 14 was bad because many men marched to their death with outdated tactics. 16 in particular was a year of death due to the massive scaling of offensive movements.
1. Run from cover to cover 2. Always be on the move, it decreases a chance of getting hit by enemy artillery 3. Run zig zag 4. Stay alert 5. Avoid jumping in the trenches 6. Don't bunch up
This map would be amazing on Battlefront 2, just replace the infantry skin with the mud trooper and make it so that the Rebellion starts another battle.

That’s one of the reasons I love this channel: solid advice on foot care. Everybody forgets about foot care, until the medic is sticking needles into your foot.
I can already guess your advice for a *Battle of Scarif* video _(besides don't)._ Volunteer, or just try without telling anyone, to hijack another Imperial shuttle … for the good of the team. Another option is to guard Rogue One, maybe in a snipers nest nearby so you can pick off anyone about to destroy your only ticket out of there. Like say a Trooper about to throw a grenade into the shuttle. That way you're not in the ship which is a target, but you can get to it fast if it's about to take off. And if you're a Rebel in space, keep your hyperdrive warmed up and ready to jump in a second. You know for a fact that the Imperials will be sending massive backup. *If you're on the Imperial side -* hey it's a job, and the pay is decent. Try to stay near the ships, now normally the best option is to stay near the control tower as it's heavily defended, or near a completely unimportant system as the control tower is still a priority target if the enemy has the firepower. But in this particular situation, a fast escape may be required, don't ask why, it's classified. Although a really fast aircraft may work just as well as a spacecraft. A really, really fast aircraft.

Probably more accurate to a British, French, or German soldier going to the trenches in WW1. The clones on Umbara felt more like a Vietnam style fight with the Umbarans using the environment, ambushes, and attrition against the republic
@@cjstanky Stormtroopers on endor faced that too, no clue what the jungle was like and didnt know about the terrain and the ewoks used rocks and hid in the trees, used it to their advantage. The stormtroopers also had bright white armor in a green lush environment so that doesnt help at all
Vietnam ain't really a fair comparison, at its height the US had over 600.000 soldiers in Vietnam and throughout 8 years of fighting lost about 50.000. It would be fairer to compare it to being Vietnamese in Vietnam since it was the Vietcong that was getting slaughtered there, not the Americans as stereotypes say.
The mimbanese live in tunnels, just get several lambda shuttles with shock/flame troopers and begin doing morally questionable things before retreating, and also just blow up enemy trenches with ISD's, the coordinates could be sent from CO's on the ground, and even if you hit nothing, it could still act as an anti-tank ditch or a mass grave site.
Khaden Allast yeah, they are worse. They are literally like bringing a WW1 era to fight in the Gulf War. Also, it is hard to take on an enemy from the air (or with orbital bombardment) when they are underground, at of sight of most scanners. That is why the US never were able to just Napalm the Viet Cong, due to their underground tunnel system. And since Mimban is basically the Imperial Era Vietnam, you can guess why it would have been mostly ineffective.
Khaden Allast The whole point of the fighting is to extract it’s resources. Glassing the world doesn’t exactly help do that, otherwise the Imperials would have used that a long time ago on places like Kashyyk, Ryloth, and Jedha.
I already know how you could survive the 1st Battle of Geonosis; you don't. You only chance at surviving it is to volunteer yourself for guard duty at one of the rear command outposts.
The video is interesting, but as an Imperial Soldier you don't really have a choice of armor or weapons. You use what Empire gives you. Because you are a grunt, and not some special ops commando
This is a great Idea for a video series. I like that you even look at mundane stuff like wet feet. This gives the whole debate a much more realistic and detailed feel.
4:00 So the Empire was the US and Mimban was Vietnam. **Incoming "We didn't lose the war because it wasn't a declared war we had higher kill count" comments**
Not an accurate analogy. The U.S. was fighting communism and not to colonize Vietnam. South Korea is glad for the U.S. otherwise all of Korea would be like North Korea. And look what communism did in Cambodia. They killed a 1/3 of their own population
Ghostbat Plays lol definitely not because of war crimes the Vietcong lost way more troops compared to the us but the us pulled out of Vietnam and in turn lost the war.
The situation is accurate to Vietnam (including multiple powers trying to take over the region and failing, the Vietnamese are no joke when fighting a guerilla war). But watching Solo, the battle feels more like a WW1 battlefield with the trenches, mud, and grinding battlefield vs the more mobile ambush style of Vietnam (see Umbara)
@@agentc7020 There're not even good for that either although you would face less problems with sand as opposed to mud. The AK's loose tolerances just make it to easy for debris to build up in front of the bolt which prevents it from going into battery and fully chambering a round. Ideally its a weapon that was always built to be better suited to winterized warfare and how to arm an force on an budget with a rifle that was easy to disassemble and clean.
Imperial Shocktrooper Germans: Shotgun is Unethical! America: You and our allies have been using chemical gas, have committed war crimes including raping and looting Belgium. You sunk dozens of civilian ships with no strategic value other than to starve Britain, which they did to you, and have bomb civilian targets. The Entente still think of great calvary charges and spectacular victories while throwing thousands of soldiers into a meat grinder. You literally sent Lenin to Russia to start up a bloody revolution. This is all because Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia because a guy, who wasn’t even Serbian but Croatian, shot the Empire’s Heir. In what way is any of this war Ethical?
Easiest way to survive. 1. Be a gunnery officer on the executer, or a star destroyer that will e sent to mamba 2. Bring a Phase Three Shadow trooper armor
"FORWARD!" the command bellowed down the line from every officer. Troopers stepped up from the firing step and hauled themselves over the parapet. A great many tumbled face first and landed in the mud. Those behind tripping over their comrades in front. It was a wave of fumbling as we surged out of the trenches and forward. A heavy hand in my back pushed me up and I quickly gained my feet. Some Troopers were turning around to help pull others out. Gradually, things began to evolve into a rush toward the enemy's ridge. We leapt over craters that pot marked the ground. Artillery shelling had reduced it to a barren waste. Many of the shell holes were filled with water and would swallow a man if they were unfortunate enough to fall in. There were broken wrecks of AT-DT walkers littered about this ground, as were the discarded bits of Trooper kit -helmets, armor, packs and the like. The bodies were the most unpleasant sight. Thousands of them strewn about, twisted and contorted in every manner. Some blasted in half or with arms or legs missing. There was but little time to take in the remains of battle -the advance had to commence. We pressed forward at a brisk pace. Moving over the broken landscape, stepping delicately to avoid setting a foot on a corpse. The more eager, or more insane, Troopers of the battalion broke in to a run -charging headlong to the ridge.
How to survive Mimban. Remind command that there is this funny thing called close air support, and abuse the hell out of the fact that you have spaceships and the enemies are just well armed savages that don't even have primitive aircraft.
Us: OH BOI! We may be taught about survival tricks or maybe even trick shots! Gen Tech: Trick shots? Trick is not to get shot. Us: Well, that makes perfect sense actually.
This whole thing only works when you make your own choices. In the military you do what you're told. In bootcamp the instructors drill it into your head that "individuals kill". Otherwise very informative video 👍
This is the Empires Vietnam. A quagmire that was a blood bath and to costly to maintain. But it was the best part of Solo. We should have a show or movie on the full battle.
How to survive the Battle of Scarif as a Stromtrooper: 1) Dont get stationed on Scarif How to survive the battle of Scarif as a Rebel Trooper: 1)Dont follow the girl you know nothing about to the world of Scarif.
Melee weapons found a place in the trenches. Clubs, knives, brass knuckes hell swords where even issued to some of the artie guys. And shotguns. Best cqb weapon of all. You could knock down a wookie with 00 buck to the chest. They probably even have bantha slugs in SW.
You know, if you really think about it, the battle of Mimban largely resembles real-life trench warfare in the days of World War I, like the battle of the Somme, for example. With the Imperial Army resembling the Wehrmacht, being heavily outgunned and outplanned by freedom fighters in the trenches, and the Stormtrooper Corps, like the storm units of WW1 acting as the brave and insane elites who charged the enemy trenches. You see where I'm going with this?
Swamp trooper armor would be what I would use it meet's all the requirements needed in this type of environment, for a semi safe thing to do I would go with sniper, less likely to be doing any charges across dead man's land for one. For a weaponed a blaster pistol for sidearm and a slug thrower configured for sniper work with a silencer, a few grenades of various types. Basically I would be using the training I had in the Army, but now in the Star Wars universe instead. As a infantryman you learn what to do and how to survive in all environments, keeping your feet dry and happy is near the top of the list.
The tough thing about hindsight is that most people don't take into account the other side. They think, "I'll change this way and that would have fixed things." Not taking into account that the other side will also be changing their strategy from the original timeline.
Also some water proof baggies would come in handy. What is the point of bringing dry socks if your pack is just going to get soaked, as well as everything in it? I also would recommend having a personal combat knife. Given the environment, the locals will be able to hide and ambush, meaning close combat is more than likely to occur.
Question/Theory I has seen recently where people where talking about count Dooku and how he wasn’t fully immersed in the dark side due to Palpatine not fully training him and such (evidenced by lack of Sith eyes) would this then demonstrate and show that Count Dooku was actually the closest thing to a Jed-di of old? Being the closest one to having balanced both the light and the dark side of the force without getting pulled to either one side fully?
Trench warfare is probably the most gruesome and mentally exhausting type of warfare ever devised Thousands of lives for barely a mile of land and terrible conditions, it's a surprise we don't hear more stories of troopers shooting officers to excape
I don't think storm troopers were deployed to Mimban, which is why we don't see them in the movie. Plus storm troopers are supposed to be "Elite" so a backwater battle were taken care of by the army
The battle of Mimban is like the perfect death trap for the empire. The Mimbanese was trained by clone troopers and armed by Republic ammunition.
So the mimbanese are literally the taliban
king oreos except less terrorist like. More like the Vietcong if anything.

Trooper: "Doc, I just got shot in the leg."

@David Jones Whew, I was worried that people forgot about this. Make sure you get the 800 mg.
That's actually great advice, not doing so could lead to infection of the leg wound if you got something nasty in your wet socks.
Maybe the blaster Cauterized the wound, so with socks and water you would be like 70% fine.
"Been in the wars have we? Now lets have a look at this wound then." Examines wound. "Mmmmmm, yes lot of this going around. Like like I said, change your sock and stay hydrated and if you're playing football try and favor the other leg."

If the Marine Corps taught me anything. It's always bring extra socks. If you think you have enough. You're wrong
They should make a mini series set in the perspective of a trooper in the battle of mimban
I found this video very informative. Thanks Allen
As Bill Maudlin said regarding tanks "Moving foxholes attract the eye".
One thing they miss is that fog blocks infrared so your better off packing spare mags
LOL! Napalm strikes!
Welcome to mimban *Fortunate son electro swing remix with imperial cargo hauler engine sounds intensifies*
You know, if you really think about it, the battle of Mimban largely resembles real-life trench warfare in the days of World War I, like the battle of the Somme, for example. With the Imperial Army resembling the Wehrmacht, being heavily outgunned and outplanned by freedom fighters in the trenches, and the Stormtrooper Corps, like the storm units of WW1 acting as the brave and insane elites who charged the enemy trenches. You see where I'm going with this?
The Wehrmacht refers to the German military after 1935, the imperial German army and navy were the armed forces of Germany in ww1
Sounds like mutiny would be common in such a never ending war. I mean even the commanding officer is rush in to die.
The best kind of armour is plot armour. Cant beat that!
You know it's bad when the plot armor guy retreats lol
Swamp trooper armor would be what I would use it meet's all the requirements needed in this type of environment, for a semi safe thing to do I would go with sniper, less likely to be doing any charges across dead man's land for one. For a weaponed a blaster pistol for sidearm and a slug thrower configured for sniper work with a silencer, a few grenades of various types.
Basically I would be using the training I had in the Army, but now in the Star Wars universe instead. As a infantryman you learn what to do and how to survive in all environments, keeping your feet dry and happy is near the top of the list.
For any non military guys and gals out there... The drying your socks feet is actually a big part of basic training 😂
7:38 hold up, that lighting on that imperial walker is screwed.
Good video please make more how to survive battle videos. Thanks
nice vid. would love a series!
This is just "How to survive WW1," which i guess makes a lot of sense when i think about it.
Not bad... this could be a pretty lengthy series... you ought to do ALL the known or major battles of each the eras
I really enjoyed that vid 😍
Thanks😊
How to survive on Mimban:
Keep your heads down and your seals tight boys.
That's precisely what i expect from this video :)
I still wish that they didn’t delete some scenes from that. It gives me ww1 vibes.
Came here for inspiration for my Bandai Clone build. I’m doing a Hawkbat Batallion trooper.
Mimban was basically the World War 1 of Star Wars
5:45 Lt. Dan ahahaha every time we stop change your socks, get down shut up, change ur socks n baby powder
Re foot powder? talc and NOT corn starch. Regarding infrared defenses, bright magnesium flares can provide visual cover, as can WP smoke.
Mimban is just fighting in lousiana on a rainy summer day
The tough thing about hindsight is that most people don't take into account the other side. They think, "I'll change this way and that would have fixed things." Not taking into account that the other side will also be changing their strategy from the original timeline.
Mimban was basically Passchendaele but with lasers and aliens.
You would think with how land locked some battles in the clones wars were there would be more battles like this type of battles in trenches.

Also some water proof baggies would come in handy. What is the point of bringing dry socks if your pack is just going to get soaked, as well as everything in it? I also would recommend having a personal combat knife. Given the environment, the locals will be able to hide and ambush, meaning close combat is more than likely to occur.
As a former infantryman I can say that trench foot is a bitch. I would rather kill myself then die from trench foot. That was extremely painful.
You should also bring a vibroblade, as the mimbanise are known for waiting in the mud until you get into melee range.
My guess, most Imperial troopers probably weren't given this class before being sent to Mimban.
Katarn Armor is the solution to most of the equipment questions. One question remains though: Where to get it.
Question/Theory
I has seen recently where people where talking about count Dooku and how he wasn’t fully immersed in the dark side due to Palpatine not fully training him and such (evidenced by lack of Sith eyes) would this then demonstrate and show that Count Dooku was actually the closest thing to a Jed-di of old? Being the closest one to having balanced both the light and the dark side of the force without getting pulled to either one side fully?
Imperial Heavy Repeaters are good Slugthrowers
Detonators? Nah, I prefer Imploders. Much more effective.
Trench warfare is probably the most gruesome and mentally exhausting type of warfare ever devised
Thousands of lives for barely a mile of land and terrible conditions, it's a surprise we don't hear more stories of troopers shooting officers to excape
To be fair, it's also the coolest to show on the big screen
@@lolmeme69_ it is :P
@@lolmeme69_ No
I’m gonna survive so many battles of mimban now
Hair cut is looking clean bro 🔥
10:50 I would try to have gear like them and a melee weapon to for close compat, and maybe a blaster
This would be a field day for Krieg
I don't think storm troopers were deployed to Mimban, which is why we don't see them in the movie. Plus storm troopers are supposed to be "Elite" so a backwater battle were taken care of by the army
Stormtroopers were deployed
They where in the movie just less in number
Generation tech : how to survive the battle of mimban : the mimbanese no
Deathkorp : what do you mean survive?
The outfit of Han solo there should be a skin in Battle front 2.
