Did you guess the battle correctly on twitter today?

Should be named "How the Republic Barely Won the Second Battle of Geonosis".

Simple: The bugs can’t aim.

Dislikes are CIS fanboys

I was pretty shocked by the flamethrower scenes...

The first invasion of Klendathu was better planned than the second invasion of Geonosis

They didn’t do what you wanted them to do because it would make the episode less interesting

You should’ve been a General during the clone wars

I would argue that a in atmosphere cruiser bombardment would have been rather risky, seeing as the CIS gun emplacements shown in the episode have been seen to be able to kill Republic cruisers. Back in the invasion of Rhyloth episode we see those same gun emplacements attacking and damaging Acclamator assault ships. Also seeing as the Geonosians are a subterranean species it would be hard to guess how much damage that a orbital bombardment would do. The Republic strategy could have been improved with direct fighter/bomber support or even perhaps if the LAATs stayed and provided fire support for their advancing forces.

Commander Cody is such a boss, but then so are all the clones.

The Admiral couldn’t spare anymore CAS in the beginning. One of the clone commanders ask for CAS and is denied because it was “ a planet wide invasion and sending fighter or bomber support would sacrifice from other parts of the campaign.”

How to secure the dropsite? "nuke the site from orbit it's the only way to be sure"

As I said on your First Battle of Geonosis video, I believe that Geonosis is one of the most orbital-bombardment-resistant planets in Star Wars, save only a water world like Mon Calamari. The Geonosians live almost entirely underground in an extremely rocky environment, and it would seem they have ways of getting supplies without going to the surface. Ordinarily turbolaser fire is not going to do very much against their fortifications, at least not without months of work. Remember that the Empire, when they tried to wipe out the Geonosians, resorted to chemical weapons. If the Republic just parked above the landing zone and kept bombarding the area, the Geonosian ground-based cannons could be moved to safety within the tunnels (this is what actual artillery does against air superiority), while Geonosian fighters make runs on the bombardment craft, potentially costing the Republic a Venator or more. We saw during the Battle of Ryloth that CIS proton cannons are capable of threatening Acclamators, so the bombarding craft would need to be very high up, removing their ability to perform precise bombardment.

I remember the beginning of the second season of the Clone Wars because of how badass it was, Ki Adi Mundi even used flame throwers against the Geonossians lol

I love how eck's solution is almost always:

I think eck is turning into a humanity first supporter...

But, then we wouldn’t have this epic Arc of the Clone Wars.

I don’t get why the Republic uses their Venators so inefficient. A single Venator Class can carry a 100+ starfighters and except for example the Battle of Malastare, they rarely ever use the full potential of thir ships might.
