I wish the clone wars shown a battle like this where the CIS had complete victory against the Republic. It would've made them into a much more serious threat
9:00 "The release of the Parasite was unexpected, unfortunate, but there is no need to panic. In truth, this is a time to rejoice, a moment that all the Confederacy should savor, for Duros has fallen, and with it, our path is clear, our entry into the Core guaranteed." -General Grievous, on the success of Operation DURGE'S LANCE and the Flood outbreak on the surface of Duro that followed.
This reminds me of invasion of Norway. 1. Poor reaction by allies (republic) to the invasion (The reinforcements sent by the British were unexperienced in combat and were given false maps of Norway) 2. Extremely outmatched army (Norwegian army) 3. The unbelievable Speed which in the invasion was carried out. 4.Seizing the Orbital Cities as a staging ground (Denmark) 5. The Invasion being to secure supply lines.
Fabian Zimmermann I’m Danish myself, so my Grandfather experienced German invasion of Denmark as a young boy. Denmark is ideal for invasion as it is mostly plains, but Norway is a different story.
@@alpha-1730 Damn, I really hope, he didn't lose anybody.That's terrible. As far as I know, the Germans were sure, that as soon as the Norwegian army would have mobilized, they wouldn't have been able to defeat them, because of the the terrain. Because of that they attacked as quickly as possible.
The Galactic Republic would’ve fallen to the Confederacy of Independent Systems if Darth Sidious was pulling the strings of the Clone Wars. The assault on the Core Worlds were a good example of how the Confederate Navy would’ve just swarm the Core Worlds, and there would’ve been nothing the Republic could have done anything about it. The Confederacy had all of the advantages in the Clone Wars by sheer numbers alone, any strategy that the Republic could have thrown at it. Any battle that the Confederacy won would gotten more Republic align worlds to switch sides and for neutral systems to join the Confederacy. Though had the Sith not been pulling the strings of the Clone Wars all factors point to a Confederacy victory.
Nah, there wouldn't even have been a confederacy without Sidious. The outer rim worlds would have fought amongst themselves and the republic would have dominated
@@CedarHunt Yeah if it wasn't for darth sidious they wouldn't have started a war with the republic. All the different factions in the CIS were around way before sidious but if wasn't for him no war.
@Taylor N Nah, faced with a war the republic wouldn't have had any issue raising an army, the core worlds are some of the most highly populous and technologically advanced in the galaxy. They're also politically unified which the outer rim planets wouldn't be without Sidious. It wouldn't be a clone army but that hardly matters. The shipbuilding capabilities and manufacturing base would be inside the republic. It would be a massacre.
@@kostyatamburrino1821 I think a war would have happened eventually but the disparities in objectives among the major players like the trade federation and techno union would have made an alliance highly unlikely. The republic would have all of the political and economic ties that bind their worlds together but the outer rim likely would have fractured into dozens or hundreds of competing groups. There wouldn't be a cis simply because the political framework wouldn't have existed without Sidious and Dooku.
I don’t think so.While he was cruel (like Vader), grievous was in no mean a good tactician.Yes he won many battles but in this case the republic really did nothing smart.Grievous lost a lot of battle because of his lack of tactical understanding.
@@Neptune-or4vm I would say he was an upper mid tactical commander but a fucking beast in head-on fighting honestly I think he only really loses to the big names of the Republic commanders. So I would say he is a good balance of traits but is heavily more towards being in the thick of fighting.
When you mentioned the victory being not launched yet I got thinking and what if much like ships in real life it was only a prototype of the ship class there only to see how it runs
Hello there @general grievous1138 fair enough then maybe it’s just a mistake in the lore but who knows they could’ve probably had multiple prototypes much like some ship classes to get it right look at the American arleigh Burke some of them are different depending on the role maybe it’s something similar here and they just failed to mention it
Yeah that last part made me think he whispered or made sure the right whispers got into the ears of the committee to set them up for this, any time power and authority is transferred to his office almost for sure it has his fingerprints somewhere.
ABSOLUTLY i want more of these! In depth, lesser know battle analysis' especially of clone wars conflicts are my favorite! Especially Separatist victories. Between the clone wars tv show and the movies, it is mostly portrayed that the CIS was just a group of pathetic droids led by incompetent commanders, when in truth the CIS was a true powerhouse that was able to hold its own for 4 years in a galaxy spanning conflict and, in my opinion, if the Sith had not hijacked the Separatist cause, I believe that, with competent commanders, the CIS could have won the war. Not necessary conquering the galaxy, but winning the war for independence and conquering and holding their portions of the galaxy (The other rim, mid rim, some of the colonies area, and the eastern reaches)
6:00 I'd love a version of the board game Battleship with Star Wars themes. Perhaps give us three versions: Empire VS Rebels (classics), Confederacy VS Republic (prequels), New Order VS New Republic (sequels). Or even a fourth version: Dark Jedi VS Old Republic (Knights of the Old Republic).
I find it quite funny that the Jyvus space station shielded the duro planet while decades later endor would shield the death star well it's just the opposite with the station shielding the planet and the planet's moon guarding a station with a shield
I'll do you one better. Here's my Top 5: 1.) Umbara arc 2.) Darth Mauls take over of Mandalore 3.) The Second Battle of Geonosis 4.) The Citadel arc 5.) Ahsoka Framed arc
I think Ryloth was cool. As well as the assaj ventress and mandalorian ones. And you cant forget the domino squad arcs. These would go after that 5 one on the list above
No wonder heads rolled if the Republic left them so vulnerable to getting curbstomped and slaughtered in detail. As clearly there was a failure of intelligence, to spot separatist build up. Failures at strategic and tactical level to put up even a half decent defence with resources available. As those golan ones should have been keep back for defence of the planet, where they could at least inflict decent losses and used in tandem with shield. Check point could have been held by a small picket line with main body and golans held back to defend planet, rather than left open to being pick off in detail. Should really do a video on the entirety of Durge's lance operation and how the republic eventually stop it.
Grevious was such a badass. Never quite understood why the Republic didn't glass a city when they knew he was within. They did far worse in many battles as the war progressed. OK, I know why, the Republic were supposed to be the "righteous" ones in this war that would never stoop to such ploys (so writers of the stories would have us believe) but as I mentioned, they inevitably did far worse damage to a variety of worlds throughout the ongoing conflict.
Aloso in the new battle tales comics there's a scene with 104th gunships and an escort of ARC 170 starfighters, but that's waaay before when the republic started using that type of fighters
I miss THIS Grievous. An actual general, a fierce warrior and a well organized (literal) war machine. ...TCWs really ruined him. Turned him into a cowardly loser that loses at least one hand with every "fight" he gets himself suckered into.

@@Raving_Rando Because I don't think you realise that the Clone Wars wanted to appeal and cater to children, not to you or me, and so their villains fall more in line with stupid pushovers more than actual villains, to be laughed, and that we aswell all simply be quiet and stop complaining, because either the whole is about to end and there'll be little point in moaning about it other than saying "They were shit." Or, they'll continue with the Clone Wars in some fashion and hopefully either change him, he did look rather more intimidating in Episode 9, or, and you'll have much more reason to argue this if they do, they won't do anything at all and they'll just keep being stupid. The point is, that the Clone Wars was not meant to draw us in, and as time had gone on and more older fans have been brought in they are beginning to change it, notably with Season 7
They should say there was some consumable component unique to Duro that was vital for venerators. Then the destruction of Duro would explain why Venerators were retired soon after the end of the war.
Awesome McCoolname for a brutal military operation, Durge's Lance. Heh, this is NOTHING compared to the disastrous battle (or maybe debacle) against the Yuuzhan Vong approximately 46 years later. Edit: Mayhaps the Victory is actually a testbed ship, and quite possibly even the first of its kind. Not a successful test, but then again, so were the first test runs of the AT-AT (Forcedamned bloody Jabiim, may that stupid planet rot in Tartarus) and even the TIE Fighter (possibly the Battle of Coruscant). 9:00: If there's one bad thing about Multiverse Theory, it's the fact that cosmic horrors like *these* can spread around to other universes.
Luv your work, plz do what if CT 555 was with ahsoka when sidious gave the command of order 666, (does the order must go to all commanders then the commanders repeat it to the other clones triggering the chips, what if rex told all commanders and his true friend cody. n by doing that sidious plans fail n he calls Maul as last resort, just saying)Happy New years
If someone would just make a movie just about an all out slugfest between the droid army and clones in a live action cinematic I’d eat that shit up. Ep2 and 3 are good for their fight scenes that include clones but they aren’t in the forefront as much as i would have wanted. Something like this would be amazing
I find it hilarious that Palpatine didnt need to do anything to ruin the republic governments reputation, half the time it ruined it's own rep. It was robust enough that he had to pull strings, but dear lord.
I would have tried to send the navy into near systems or locations, so the CIs, seeing no resistance at sight, would have advanced, then after intelligence confirms they have moved, deploy from hyperspace all ships from all directions, to generate an ambush. Yet, I know the Republic should have previous intel to made this effective. If Duro´s near space area have asteroids, then one could try to replicate Anakin´s tactic of using AT-TEs to attack from lower angles. It proved to be fairly effective against Recusant cruisers. PD: I wish TCW had more combats in this style. I would have made things more balanced.
Star Wars: "there was a Republic Victory Class ship at this battle" Geetsly: "The Republic Victory Class wasn't even launched yet" Me: "so, who fucked this up? Disney or Lucasfilm?"

As a Duros fanboy I’d like a video on the Duros species
Luv your work, plz do what if CT 555 was with ahsoka when sidious gave the command of order 666, (does the order must go to all commanders then the commanders repeat it to the other clones triggering the chips, what if rex told all commanders and his true friend cody. n by doing that sidious plans fail n he calls Maul as last resort, just saying)Happy New years
Its order 66. Not order 666. Just an FYI
If someone would just make a movie just about an all out slugfest between the droid army and clones in a live action cinematic I’d eat that shit up. Ep2 and 3 are good for their fight scenes that include clones but they aren’t in the forefront as much as i would have wanted. Something like this would be amazing
Yes please
I find it hilarious that Palpatine didnt need to do anything to ruin the republic governments reputation, half the time it ruined it's own rep. It was robust enough that he had to pull strings, but dear lord.
I would have tried to send the navy into near systems or locations, so the CIs, seeing no resistance at sight, would have advanced, then after intelligence confirms they have moved, deploy from hyperspace all ships from all directions, to generate an ambush.
Yet, I know the Republic should have previous intel to made this effective. If Duro´s near space area have asteroids, then one could try to replicate Anakin´s tactic of using AT-TEs to attack from lower angles. It proved to be fairly effective against Recusant cruisers.
PD: I wish TCW had more combats in this style. I would have made things more balanced.
The only thing I will say about the victory is that it could have been a prototype of the Star destroyer
Anyone else notice the doge at 0:31
Maybe it was a prototype victory class I'm sure a few were around
Why not use winning tactics multiple times?
Star Wars: "there was a Republic Victory Class ship at this battle"
Geetsly: "The Republic Victory Class wasn't even launched yet"
Me: "so, who fucked this up? Disney or Lucasfilm?"
So weird to think for me, first Gen star destroyers(ie, victory II class) had…x wings in their fighter bays…
And the yuuzhan vong terraformed the planet, and would cause more destruction than grievous ever did.
