Well, yes and no. Real-time battles would be next to impossible to implement well, and the new system is turn-based in a sense, but you're right about preserving the feel of Star Wars authenticity. That's basically the reason we created the new system. _________________

In other words, there will be several small battles instead of two or three big ones *cough*Thyferra*cough* that take forever to resolve? _________________ "There is no emotion, there is peace.

It was actually 1 million infantry and something like 10,000 T-34s. Which is still the closest thing in the world to a mobile wall of steel. _________________ "There is no emotion, there is peace.

I was gonna say... no army in the history of the world had a million tanks.
Hell, even the PT, for all of its overinflated battles, I don't think they've ever actually had a million walkers or hovertanks present in a single battle. _________________ Emperor Ams Jendob, Ruler of the Imperial Remnant

Damn, that's got to be intimidating in a briefing.

Yah. Even aircraft would have a hard time bombing 'em. Not just because there aren't enough bombs, but, well... it's be hard to hit a plane with a tank, but when you've got a million 120 mm shells flying at you, well... _________________ Captain Kelson Ordo

The T-34 used 66mm shells, if I remember correctly. And they sucked at shooting aircraft. _________________ "There is no emotion, there is peace.

75mm shells, actually. Then the T-34-85 was 85mm. Tanks are not designed to shoot down aircraft
Of course, 1,000,000 tanks would be impossible to supply. The United States, with the largest economy in the world, could barely supply 10 armoured divisions in Europe in WW2 The amount of fuel you'd need would be impossible. Unless they were wind powered... _________________

The United States manufactured roughly 40,000+ Shermans during the course of WWII (That's including mineflayers, flame tanks, atc), so 1,000,000 would be a bit out of reach. _________________ "There is no emotion, there is peace.

And Sovietsky Soyuz managed about 100,000 from 1930-45. So it would take a while, definitely.
So long that by the time you'd finished, you would need to replace one million obsolete tanks with new models... _________________
