Likely, though probably not materially. Na'vi are roughly 3 meters, so 1 step a second of 1.5 meter steps would be a walking speed of roughly 5.4 kph, vs human 3.6 kph average. The Na'vi cavalry and airborne are likely so much faster a higher march speed might not be overly important, and the...

I vaguely recall doing some math once to look at practical speeds on the moon, and I believe it ended up being "slower than Earth". This is due to friction issues. Acceleration and breaking speeds can both be described by the following formula: (I thought there was a way to make these more...

This was mostly just discussing the perimeter to give a scale of the front: I'm sure given time they could upgrade beyond the orgininally existing fence, and strong points can be built up. Defending such a large base with so few is still a bit of a challenge. I have partially re-thought the...

Not at all. What have I said to give you the idea I'm retarded?

I might be incorrect on the scale, but the Omaticaya clan was the pissing off a few thousand, which can be hunkered up and outlasted in a fort. Though, if the Omaticaya clan is more like the water tribe with several hundred villeges, and the hometree was just the capital or something like it...

Hm, without the human collaborators though you don't really have the dual issues that make this such a difficult problem for the Humans: organized, large scale resistance, and distant targets. Rallying all the Na'vi generates a force large enough to threaten the local garrison, but the...

I don't think battalions traditionally have any organic air support. Certainly not an armored battalion as we seem to have here. Access would be more trickly, because I think you do sometimes get organic air at the brigade level, and some more at divisional. Which gives a battalion access. But...

Well, a battalion is an extremely small deployment. Especially for the area in question. Lets get an idea of the territory in question: lots of the Catatans having trouble is based on this being a large area: lets say the target is one hour helicopter flight: about 200 km. That's 10 days on foot...

Eh, I'm not really convinced here that the Catachan's have enough superiority over the RDA to have a dramatically better chance, and if they have to move by foot, potentially significantly worse. People forget how much slower by foot can be. Even one hour of helicopter travel is 200-300 km...

Yeah, people do sometimes forget that, well, the Navi lost their battle. One might quipt that the Navi did more damage than they should have with cavalry charging a machine gun line, but having watched the movie recently the movie gives little sign that cavalry charge came close to overrunning...
