What if the Empire invaded modern day earth?

But a cannon certainly can.

If we're to approach this from the angle that the Imperials would be attacking LA from Mexico---the Americans would be too shocked and awed to mobilize their entire military fast enough to garrison and entrench defence equipment in LA. It's a sprawling suburb filled with millions of people that would need to be evacuated before any "safe" defense can be made. Taking the Dark Side choice from Revan's talk with the Kashyyyk Star Map computer, better to sacrifice LA so one can buy time to mobilize and defend the rest of the country. I'd rather save Houston or Dallas before Los Angeles. Besides, I'm sure the Governator will think of something.

Attackin LA from Mexico? WTF???? Dude, the Imperials don't have long ranged weapons here: even the AT-ATs need to be in visual range to hit their targets.

I was doing what we're supposed to do here: create an argument. Given your lack of initial specifics, I had to work with assumptions and some presumptions. But even after your "contributions" I couldn't argue in favour of an Imp victory. But that doesn't stop the fact that the statistics and options you gave the Imperials was heavily one-sided.

Why do you keep on saying that it's one sided? I gave the imperials PLENTY of supplies and organization. The only disadvantage that I added on was that they don't know that much about Earth, and then you got all over me for it and ignored the advantage that I gave them (plenty of supplies/good organization) and then, I AGREED to you and gave them more knowledge of the Earth, and yet you still claim that the imperials are heavily handicapped... and besides why did you at the beginning add on AA guns for the empire? I had a specific list of what they have and AA guns weren't listed there.

How would a squad of marines react to their comrades getting holes burned through them? Stormtroopers seem pretty used to their numbers and fellows getting killed.

And lol, I don't think an EMP pulse will mean much if the nuke kills everyone involved.

As for the city-fighting: The AT-ATs will approach LA and level it. They can vaporize buildings and knock out foundations like that *snaps fingers*.

I've realized something: as none of us seem to know just what Imperial AA equipment is, we're at a crossroads----Earth would never resort to Nukes if they're airforce is still operating, but how do we gauge the effectiveness of SW AA to take out jets and missiles if we don't know what it is. Anyone here privy to that knowledge?

And LOL, "everyone involved" will be the empire; the earth soldiers won't be there when a nuke dentonates.

Unless if they die before that.

You added in AA guns, because you wanted earth to fail. So, AA guns aren't included because I NEVER INCLUDED THEM IN THE OP!!!

And why don't you tell me WHAT I've done to make this thread biased? Whenever I ask you what I did to make it biased you basically respond "oh because you made it so that the empire would fail" well that's exactly what I'm asking you: HOW I made it so that they'd fail. Because I didn't and you avoid giving examples for some reason.

You do realise all Stormtrooper Batallions[SP?] Automatically have AA/AT due to the Empires (limited) Intelligence? So it doesn't matter if it was included or not you never said they Couldn't have them.

Nice points Lucien, good to see you back, it's been a while.

Lucien = Crankypants.

I take day-long sabbaticals every now and then. Those n00bs aren't gonna pwn themselves after all.

Actually Hewhoknowsall, manages to do that, every, single, day.

Oh snap!

Minor Singe!

You truly are oblivious. I was under the impression that you would understand what I said. It seems I grossly overestimated your intelligence.
Attacking from Mexico means they're coming from Mexico. Much like how the Allies attacked Nazi-held Europe from Britain.

Do you know WHY I wanted them to have AA? Because even with it, the Imps are horribly disadvantaged, as are our arguments concerning it---we don't even know what Imperial AA looks like nevermind how it functions. I had hoped that in light of that fact, you would concede and give the Imps some sort of air cover, but...

Yeah I know, I'm just saying that a cannon CAN pierce his armor, I'm not saying that one would hit.

Oops! Sorry about that, I misread.

Once again, you fail to explain HOW the imperials are "horribly disadvantaged." Not only that, but you say that you don't know what the AA guns of the Empire are like, and yet somewhere about halfway through this thread I you claimed that I was being too vague because I failed to specify what the AA guns are...uh, that's your burden. And besides, it was determined that everything added in after the OP would be not counted, because you guys yelled at me for it. And, if you think that this is a spite against the imperials because I made it biased, then how come for 3/4 of the thread you were arguing FOR the imperials? It seems like just recently you stopped debating whether or not they'd win and started claiming that it's a spite.

Can this thread die now please?

Hell no it can't. I think it's a ridiculous thread really. If the empire attacked us, we shouldn't fight back. We should sit down and have a lovely conversation with the imperials over tea. We should under no circumstance retaliate because that would make us a barbaric society and we'd be looked down upon by the utopia loving cross dressers.

nah doo. (read it out loud) lyke we shud hunt 'em down n' kill all those queer-ass f a g s so they can't marry each other.

Nah man that would make us bigots and we'd rather hug trees and chant peace until we jiz our pants. The empire can hunt us down for all we care, for we will NEVER fight their fight. IT IS BETTER TO DIE ON YOUR FEET THAN LIVE ON YOUR KNEES!!!

If the empire invaded, they would jam our communications, making it incredibly hard to coordinate an attack, and proceed with raping us from the sky with Star Destroyers or (god forbid) Death Star III.

Did you even read the OP? I said several times that NO space/air support is allowed for the empire.

Did you read my post about you self-owning yourself every day? You did it again. beggars used a miraculous technique called sarcasm, it can be your greatest ally, in your case it's a kick in your non-existant nuts every time.

Yet another example of being immature and insulting someone who's not insulting you. Is it just me, or have none of you actually try to support your argument of the empire wins for quite a while now? You just claim that it's a spite because of me and yet for a long time you argued in favor of the empire. Did you run out of arguments?
