Look, Yoda very likely knows battle meditation. To what extent, I don't know. But battle meditation does not equal the win here. Consider the situation, and DON'T get fixated on characters.

The text implies that he uses battle meditation, lets leave it at that. But like you said battle meditation will not win this fight.
The clones have better technology and are far better strategically. The wookies are well adapt to hiding and striking unexpectedly.
I dont think splitting up into regiments or groups would be a good idea for the clones, especially with wookies attacking from above. "United we stand, divided we fall."

I disagree. I think Clones in a defensive position with automatic weapons will hold out against the wookiees, especially since there's no number advantage either way.

On a side note, Shaun of the Dead was hilarious

That is was.

The wookies could bombard them with grenades from the tree top, in that case sticking close would not be a good idea, but defensively we are safe to say the clones have an advantage and possibly a victory. Once the wookies get up close and physical its all over.
The clones lost some battles against the CIS whereas the CIS even outnumbering the wookies were pwnt, so Im not sure I guess this fight could go both ways. In a ratio I say wookies take 6/10 fights whereas the clone stake 4/10, just my opinion.

Again, I totally disagree. You underestimate the effectiveness of automatic weapons holding a defensive position. I suggest you do some extensive reading on tactics, especially WWII era; even a small amount of troops with automatic weapons in a defensive position can hold out against superior numbers for weeks. Also, the Clones are better at holding defenses than the wookiees are at offensive. The idea that even a portion of two thousand wookiees are going to take to the trees and use grenades when it says explicitly that they don't use grenades but prefer bowcasters and more visceral melee weapons implies that they won't take that route as a main tactic.

In addition, unless the wookiees form a wedge and slam one section hard, or encircle and hope to break through on one of the flanks, they don't have much of a prayer. Trees might provide cover, but for that amount of troops it doesn't provide much else. If the wookiees charge and face a serious turnabout, the clones can then run them down and massacre them with the forest hindering any cohesive escape or change in plan.

The only surefire ways to take down such emplacements are with snipers, artillery, or armor.

I can see the wookies having one of the three.

That being snipers... With bowcasters. But there's two thousand troops using artillery and heavy repeaters.

They dont prefer grenades, but that doesnt mean they wont use them. Yes, but in the WW2 era you had enemy troops running into firing range, whereas the wookies could hide in the trees. The wookies could easily snipe and take out the defenses one by one they dont need to charge at the clones and get pummled by lasers. Snipers are far more accurate and have a greater range than heavy repeaters. Snipers>Heavy Repeaters. The wookies also have far better sight than humans do, so spotting enemies from far distances wont be much of a problem.

Firstly, you have two thousand wookiees. If the majority of them are infantry who prefer NOT to use grenades or anything else save for blades and bowcasters, the burden of proof is on you to prove that they would suddenly have a tactical change of heart and jump in the trees. Then elaborate on how two thousand wookiees (Or even a substantial amount of them) can climb up the trees of Endor and stealthily make it to the bunker without being spotted. Keep in mind that the bunker itself was in a clearing, and the clone troopers have a full 24 hours to prepare a defense.

Second, prove the effective range of heavy repeaters over bowcasters, and the proficiency of wookiee sniping. Even if an overwhelming amount of wookiees sniped (like 10%-12%), that's not enough to take out two thousand clones before someone notices and improvises. And don't mistake effective range for maximum range.

Ok, I will give me some time though, Im doing my Homework atm.

Dude what happened to this thread?

No proof came forward.

That seems to happen in the majority of threads... it seems the only ones that get attention are the stupid ones. Well not all of them are stupid.
