Clone army size?
Posted: 2002-12-08 11:04pm
I got bored today so I watched AOTC, at the end I decided to count the Clone Troops, here's what I found.
Each group numbered 24 x 30 = giving us 720 per group
There were 27 groups I could see on the ground
27 x 720 = 19440
There appeared to be at least 5 groups per ship
5 x 720 = 3600
We see 5 ships either taking off or firing their engines
5 x 5 x 720 = 18000 total in the ships seen taking off
GRAND TOTAL: 37440
As a note, these are just those seen on screen, the only assumptions I have made are that each ship taking off was carrying the same no of troops as the one we saw taking off, bear in mind the most I saw boarding a ship was 5 at a time, unless the whole ship totals one very tall deck there is much more. Also I didn't count the "thousands" that were in the Geonosis bit.
Also this was my first attempt at serious looking calcs, plz tell me if I did them wrong.
