      But they still devastated the Romans when they tried javelin volleys against them. Took them years to figure out their weaknesses. They are lucky they had that cultural bonus to raise army time.

      I was going to say, the horses have blankets, get some for the AT-ATs.

      Also, so sad there aren’t any AT-STs. Being younger and easier targets for scrap raiders, it is no wonder the ATs went extinct.

    I’ll start an argument: calling the walkers a name that sounds like the word “at” twice or calling them “Haiti-Haiti” minus the H are both acceptable.

        Lol, that’s fair. I would never infringe on someone’s silent judgement :D It made sense to me that the Rebel Army would have different and abbreviated nicknames for things. Armed forces guys in the US at least are kind of notorious for having abbreviations and pet names for things. For instance a “Huey” is a name for an Iriqouis helicopter. Actually, couldn’t think of better examples so I found a pretty solid article about it.

    Now I want a documentary with David Attenborough quietly commenting the daily business of wild AT-ATs.
