For the players the nukes served two purposes: with their part of the country occupied by hostiles, it reminded them they weren't fighting alone, and it suggested things were getting desperate. It thus raised the "pucker factor".

Some players thought such a fight was hopeless. Some thought the Empire cannot defeat us. I think it would be somewhere in the middle. Certainly, that's where the best role playing possabilities lay.

I’m sure the Empire would have to be toned down a tad so to actually give earth a chance. After all, you do get to be a galaxy spanning empire with crappy tactics.

Yes, I agree that their tactics are crap. Mr. Lucas is a good movie maker, but obviously not a soldier. To military eyes, the Empire doesn't have any tactics, neither does the Trade Federation (nor anyone else we saw in the movies).

In our campaign, the Earth loses every time. But the heroic roleplaying is found in what the players/characters do about it.

I tend to assume that the Empire has excellent tactics, we just don’t get to see them on screen. Wink

Hey, the Stromtroopers we saw in all three movies completed their missions, except on Endor.

those were the vets, you see, because their so skilled, right after the mission is complete, and we see the completed mission, they're off doing something else, while the newbies stand around in amazement

Beef?
My friend I have a whole heard of steer with that! Twisted Evil Wink

But considering that I will incorporate a lot of the work I have done with Stormtroopers and post them up as well, that might be considered house rules. But the essay itself will primarily deal with the movies and cannon.
