Ouch! I would love to read that after action report!

I know what you mean- my first army in Dirtside (and it was so long ago
that 
I'm not even going to think about the date) was a force that I build
from a 
pair of 1/300 scale Battle of Hoth kits. I fielded about 4 AT-ATs, 2
AT-STs, 
several teams of imperial snow troopers (with 1 team in three were APSW 
teams), and a couple of tanks (the nasty three PPC tank from FASA)- I
wasn't 
trying to field a force that would win, just one that looked cool, and
would 
be fun to play :)

My opponent simply fielded a mass of conventional tanks (armed with
HELs) 
and mech infantry. It was an ugly match for me as you can well guess- I 
think over 50% of my force's point total was sunk in the AT-ATs... not 
pretty when those things started going "boom" ;)

After that day I always stuck with fairly cheap tanks!

By the way, what did you use for the Daleks?
