How to survive the battle of Scarif:
Don't be on the ground.
Mann of Dober or anywhere near Scariff..or anywhere important
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
Or be on tatoonine
Too soon bruh
How to survive battle of scarif:
Take your own life
Trooper: "Doc, I just got shot in the leg."
Doc: "Hmmm... change your socks and hydrate."
@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."
that applies to everything, had something going on with one of my ears and the doc gave me, allergy pills, ibuprofen, and constantly hydrate. changing of socks was already assumed.
The best job is obviously recruiter. You may end up giving a surname to the next big hero character.
That would be my guy if I was in Star Wars. Nothing too important yet just enough screen time to not be killed.
"I don't have a people..."
"Alright, Han ... Yolo."
@@marcodenetto3850 LOL, but Yolo would actually work as a name in Star Wars.😁
@@Dankdalorde One of the Worst things in Star Wars history... The Expanded Universe had the Solo Family, makes FAR more sense... I hate Disney...
Disney hates you too
The Mimban scene was like the closest we'll ever get to a live action 40K movie.
Waaagh!
I thought it was 40k from the thumbnail but then I saw the creator and I was like what?
mimban troopers armour looks gold like pyre but pyre coudn't be a stormtrooper he sounds much younger like he's in his 27, 29 or thirties
“How to Survive the Siege of Vraks”
@@ardentfire3956 the way to survive vraks is to not be on vraks
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.
Not really like the Taliban. They are fighting for their freedom to be left alone. And from an oppressive regime that first came as liberators from an other oppressor. So more like the Partisans of Eastern Europe during WWII
king oreos that blowback hits different in Star Wars universe
@@bluenight104 Vietcong is terrorism.
When the stormtroopers hear the mud speaking Mimbanese:
Mud trooper: *OH GOD OH FUC-*
>insert crying cat image here
O
What I find even better about this is the fact that they'd literally burrow and hide in the mud😂
*SOME FOLKS ARE BORN, MADE TO RAISE THE FLAG*
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.
Plus, poor equipping of many of the Imperials deployed...
Indeed. Substandard equipment, poor assembled and sabotaged smalls arms, armour, munitions, ordnance and vitals all contributed to Imperial failings.
Gay
Instead Disney just skipped the whole battle for emphasis on a SJW droid
@@CBRN-115 Yea :/
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.
I was hoping for the entire lifespan of that game that they’d eventually add the mudtrooper as a skin

*Trooper 1:* How's the trenchfoot?
*Trooper 2:* Totally fixed, in fact it's not a risk anymore?
*Trooper 1:* Huh? How?
*Trooper 2:* New feet! _[takes off boot to show a cyberlimb, which extends up into his pants, then puts boot back on]._

*Trooper 1:* There's no point, his brains gone, not that there was much of it to begin with.
*Trooper 3:* No, it's just I'm the same height as him, and my trenchfoot is really killing me, I reckon _those feet_ are the right size.…

Nice comment.
Funny
Wow those snipers are no joke
Underrated comment
How to survive the western front 1914-1918
Pretty much, that's why I loved this scene so much
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.
Razzy1312 Imagine being in Battle of Verdun in February, thats gotta be hell
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
@@SomeGuy-fl1gz 7. Don’t enlist and dodge the draft
“Be a leader, INSPIRE others to retreat with you!” Bro this has me rolling.
Alan: "If you do find yourselves forced to be the front of a charge because of bad luck, trip and fall."
Me: And make sure to shove your CO out in front of you while you're falling. 😈 He might be blasted to pieces and replaced by someone who won't get the entire unit killed.
Does this considers as fragging
bben trimble ccm Oi
I would
That might sound like a good tactic but you risk getting trampled by your comrades
@@danieltobin4498
I've survived being trampled with worse armor.
I'll give you my tactic to stay alive when I attack an enemy's bases or planet. _ Step 1 : blast it from orbit
Step 2: _Profit_
(if you can't blast it from orbit because they have planetary shield or hostages send the maniac with the lightsaber at them). (edit: okay guys keep it to 69 likes this is epic)
lmao i love this comment
the rebels were left alive after the orbit blast for thrawn's mercy
Of course YOU'D know something about that, admiral. Very well, I volunteer to be said maniac with the lightsaber. So long as you tell the Emperor about my heroics, of course.......
@@HolyknightVader999 don't worry if you avoid every rebel with a backstory you should be good to go but if you see one of those rebels starting a monologue _run_ . This type of rebels require my favorite asmatic enforcer.
@@mitthrawdoritos30 Don't you remember? I've got plot armor too. At least until Episode VI. DAMMIT, LUKE! WHY DIDN'T YOU JOIN ME!?
Going into Mimban as a soldier for the empire would basically be like a US marine going into Vietnam, or a stormtrooper on endor
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.
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.
Use air/space support?
It isn't 1914 Earth you know ;-)
Napalm strikes!
Year. Go on Nimban get a Tie-Fieghter and trie to see enough so you dont crash
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.
Your Empire needs you, TROOPERS FORWARD!
If you dont have feet, you're not really gonna go anywhere. 😂😂 Alan you never fail to crack me up buddy. Keep it up.
just like your feet
The battle of mimban was basically WW1 mixed with the Vietnam war and Star Wars
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**
Joseph Nathaniel Bael higher kill count because of the war crimes
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
@@christopherthomas7980 IKR
who in the world thought of authoritarianism in the first place it is just plain terrible
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)
You'll probably survive if you remember to bring your power-shovel or vibrospade along.
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
10:43 the most useful and hilarious Friendly Fire advice
He started talking about spare socks and I started getting flashbacks to Basic lol.
I've seen enough "InRangeTV" to know to bring an M4 to a muddy planet..
Then use the AKM!
@@pyeitme508 AKM + mud=bad idea.
Internet Troll indeed, the AKM is more suited to sandy environments
just give me a M1 grand with scope and pray i never have to reload....
@@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.
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.
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.
You can just tell that this man right here REALLY wants to join the Empire and just fight on Mimban.
"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.
Since CIS had underground Bunker down outpost and planetary shields left there. Probably made it extra difficult for the empire there.
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
Yep
Interesting advice. After hearing it I'm quite certain that tomorrow you'll be getting a visit from your local ISB agent.
Too bad the german army didn't have this video during ww1
Star wars 21 No, you didn’t have Americans charging you with shotguns.
@@flare9757 Shotguns: the best weapons ever created
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?
@Imperial Shocktrooper To be fair, the Germans had submachine guns.
@@darkraven5106 Yes
I now have this image in my head of the entire front line of an imperial assault running slow but trying to look like they're running fast.
i used to volunteer at a garden centre with the actor for the mimban lieutenant in the solo movie, hal fowler. great guy, small world
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.
Not hell swords. Hell, swords.
Hell yea, nothing a 12 gauge cant solve
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 👍
“Keep your head down and keep moving!”
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.
If the Marine Corps taught me anything. It's always bring extra socks. If you think you have enough. You're wrong
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.
A brutal battle indeed. I almost lost my life if not for befriending a wookie
Great video and I wish we got see more of the battle and I like the ww1 inspiration.

what happened to the clone wars history series you were doing Generation Tech
As Bill Maudlin said regarding tanks "Moving foxholes attract the eye".
"Pretend to Fall Down" is my favorite
You should do one about "How to Recognize the Droids You're Looking For."
Thanks for telling me how to survive the battle of passchendaele
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
LOL! Napalm strikes!
They should make a mini series set in the perspective of a trooper in the battle of mimban
How to survive on Mimban:
Keep your heads down and your seals tight boys.
One thing they miss is that fog blocks infrared so your better off packing spare mags
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.
The best kind of armour is plot armour. Cant beat that!
You know it's bad when the plot armor guy retreats lol
Sounds like mutiny would be common in such a never ending war. I mean even the commanding officer is rush in to die.
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.
I’m gonna survive so many battles of mimban now
7:38 hold up, that lighting on that imperial walker is screwed.
For any non military guys and gals out there... The drying your socks feet is actually a big part of basic training 😂
This is just "How to survive WW1," which i guess makes a lot of sense when i think about it.
I found this video very informative. Thanks Allen
I really enjoyed that vid 😍
Thanks😊
Great advice Alan. Thanks mate!
Thank You - Again - Great video! Very useful and Informative. ~ Be Safe out there folks ~ Peace & Health to Us All.
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.
Welcome to mimban *Fortunate son electro swing remix with imperial cargo hauler engine sounds intensifies*
That's precisely what i expect from this video :)
nice vid. would love a series!
Very good analysis, I learned a lot for real life applications as well. You're like Sun Tzu, man.
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.
Great video!
Can you do a review of one of the most interesting weapons in Star Wars... the Gungan Boomas! That would be awesome!
This video is basically a summarized World War 1 tutorial for kids born in the 1890's
My guess, most Imperial troopers probably weren't given this class before being sent to Mimban.
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
Good video please make more how to survive battle videos. Thanks
For even more pointers to cowardly survival in the madness of trench warfare, watch all of Blackadder goes forth.
I still wish that they didn’t delete some scenes from that. It gives me ww1 vibes.
Detonators? Nah, I prefer Imploders. Much more effective.
Mimban was basically the World War 1 of Star Wars
So basically Mimban is WW1 of Star Wars, minus the Heavy howitzers, bunkers, Gas, Tanks and Flamethrowers.
I think it would be quite interesting if they made a Game all about the WW1 like planets the Republic and Seperatists fought in, Empire and Rebels fought in and actually made it detailed.
Like a CoD game in Star Wars, straight up Warfare, shows great details, Explosions with rumbling effects, sound of blaster Bolts whizzing by, FPS, loud blaster fire, Air Strikes, Artillery, Realistic mechanics, etc.
With Campaigns, Weapon loadouts, arcade mode and vehicle customization. With the ability to play either side.
Yea I'd love that.

Re foot powder? talc and NOT corn starch. Regarding infrared defenses, bright magnesium flares can provide visual cover, as can WP smoke.
5:45 Lt. Dan ahahaha every time we stop change your socks, get down shut up, change ur socks n baby powder
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.
Came here for inspiration for my Bandai Clone build. I’m doing a Hawkbat Batallion trooper.
Hair cut is looking clean bro 🔥
Mimban is just fighting in lousiana on a rainy summer day
10:50 I would try to have gear like them and a melee weapon to for close compat, and maybe a blaster

This sounds like heresy to me, your commissar will be having a word with you
Katarn Armor is the solution to most of the equipment questions. One question remains though: Where to get it.
The best armor is plot armor
Not bad... this could be a pretty lengthy series... you ought to do ALL the known or major battles of each the eras
