Once the speeders get into action, it seem that the Rebel ground forces have almost stopped firing at the Imperial walkers.
Which also reminds maybe, is there an AT-ST that gets hit and damaged/destroyed in the background by Rebel ground fire? Poor grunts on the ground don't get to do much on Hoth other than die...
I've suggested something like this for a while now....but involving snowtroopers on the ground, disembarked from the advancing AT-ATs as they get close to the trenches.....very small, on the ground, IN the already existing shots in the film....no new shots......making it achievable with CG....possibly only squads of 5 troops per AT-ST (the logic being that the chicken walkers are there to protect the full size walkers, therefore the chickens would have a squad of troops each for protection as well).
It always bothered me that despite the rebels realizing that their fire was completely ineffective against the walkers they stayed and got slaughtered for no good reason. They didn't slow anyone or anything down....the speeders were the only thing making a difference.....no commander would allow his/her troops to remain in a situation where they weren't serving any purpose but were dying nonetheless.
All rather moot though as I don't think Ady is going for it.
