Actually the Fat Man would be a potent offensive weapon, essentially making a small area uninhabitable to the Rad-away challanged Legion.

This would only become relevant if the BOS would engage in guerilla tactics. Considering that they have the Reacon Armor they might be somewhat effective at this tactic.

Seconded.

I take all of Merari's arguments and use them as my own (didn't get that copyright in fast enough).

And, as Styles said, remember WWII? The Soviets defeated the Germans, even though the Germans had better training and materiel. It came down to numbers and resources.

1) Legion have crap weapons isn't that your case? Why would BoS take them? Legion are mostly melee, so little to no ammo and they don't use energy weapons so no energy cells for BoS to take. As for food. Simple don't let your troops have food and water with them during an attack. BoS going to eat the dead?

2) Wow they are going to punch thousands of people to death? Did not work when they fought NCR.

3) You are right they have no supply lines, all that much easier to cut them off from what little supplies they have. BoS don't send out people in PA to get supplies. Simple reason, everyone hates them. Unarmered troops sent to get food, easy pickings for the Legion.

And you think that the BOS wouldnt be smart enough to start getting out of there postions and attacking. Not to mention in a DECADE the number of dead legionaries would be high.

Remember what would Graham do.

What would Elijah do/ Hardin.

Thirded.

This is.. New Vegas!
:rofl:

This thread has really gotten out of hand. To many people blinded by ignorancy( is that even a word? you know what I mean).

The Legion argument makes no sense.

The United States Military would beat North Korea and China combined even though both countries have larger militaries. The United States army isn't even that more tech-advanced than those two countries.

It's because the U.S. strategy, command structure, training, and technology is better. Much like the Brotherhood of Steel.

Oh no they got a million infantry ! Oh no we got B-1 bombers and Raptors and special forces up the wazoo....

Thats life my friend.

Im actually 100% certain the Chinese army says the opposite and with some justification.
Would the US really win? Lets not speculate, it is a scary thought they might not and either way it would be very, very bad.
The Korean army also says the opposite, but, well..

1. True but if you run out of ammo for your gun are you simply going to sit there and get taken over? I wouldnt use the enemys weapons. Nevertheless the BOS does have power fists.
2. Point taken.
3. When the "supply lines" get whiff of whats going on they woulndt be found or make a scene to get caught. Kinda a assumtion "everyone hates them" NCR doesnt that much or they would have them killed of after you tried to make a truce. Mr.house hates them. Yes man doesnt care. CL doesnt seem all that interested. Enclave remanents IDK. Boomers dont know. Great khans unsure.

i think ill make a mod which involves this very argument and distribute it to you guys :celebration:

Too bad the Brotherhood doesn't have all those things up the wazoo, they have limited numbers which after a fight on the ground cut off from supplies and surrounded starts to affect you after awhile.

NCR won against the Mojave BoS. Therefore the Legion can as well. Now can anyone tell me why they can't without some crap reason like "the Legion wear skirts and only have melee weapons."

NCR's main weapons is one of the worst pieces of crap in the game and their armour is no better then the common legion armour. Better since they have more freedom of movement. Common NCR armour is no better at stopping Gauss Weapons and Lazer Gattlings then Legion Armour.

Lol i know i said that 4 pages ago. Make it 5 BOS vs. 20-30 Legionaries.

German lost because they fought on too many front at one time and got to thin. If Hitler never attacked Russia and took England wwll would have been a different story.

The bos will not be fighting on multiple fronts. They will be 1 shoting cl guys wity little return fire. CL are horrible shots too. They barely ever hit me. NCR hits me....... Bos hits me......... CL has no chance unless the commit everyman they have at one time. 20 000 cl will not get it done. Then another 20 000 will not get it done. bos recycles ammo.

Oh no the Legion got 100,000 guys with machetes and skirts ! Oh no the Brotherhood has mini-nukes, gatling lasers, miniguns, tri-beam laser rifles, gauss rifles, missile launchers T-51b and T-45d power armor.

It's ignorance. Adding the y would change the adjective: ignorant, to a noun, the thing they have too much of. And I do agree, some of posts here have devolved into: "I AM RIGHT! YOU ARE STUPID! STUPID!"

You act as if those Brotherhood soldiers won't be shooting back as those Legion troops are running at them flailing with their hands in the air..
And, for the millionth time, what is a Legionnaire going to do when he actually get's to the Paladin? It would take mobs of Legionnaires to even take a Paladin in PA down, and by the times a bunch of them got there, that one Paladin could have very well taken down a hundred troops with his Gatling Laser or Minigun or Fatman or whatever he please. Now when you consider that this would be the story for each and every Paladin, your looking at thousands upon thousand of losses for the Legion. A Legion would cease to exist even if they "won." The few troops that remained would simply be prey for whoever had a grudge against them. And, news flash, The Legion doesn't have the same amount of troops NCR does. That's canon my friend..

Nothing wrong with a machete and a skirt.

:rofl:

What happens when one gatling laser breaks or runs out of ammo? Its useless. What happens when one Paladin dies? The BOS cannot replace these.

What happens when one machete or hunting rifle breaks? Thousands more. One Legionary dies? Thousands more.

This is an actual war, not Hollywood.

1) Legion attack with wave after wave of melee and shoot from a distance. Their dead will have no food or water on them, no ammo to take and no weapon worth taking, after all they have their power fists :rolleyes:

3) Veronica tells us that most people want nothing to do with the BoS. Everyone is in away an enemy. They send people out in disguise for a reason. They can only get supplies from people that don't know they are BoS. Still Legion cuts them off and seiges them they can't send anyone in the first place.



AKA Germany was out numbered. Over simplification but that is the case. Way to many people attacking and their fancy weapons were useless when out numbered and started running out of gas an bullets. BoS will be useless when they run out of food and bullets.

For every Paladin that dies, how many did he take with him? There's no respawning in war my man. One soldier may not seem like a lot, but when your losing hundreds of soldiers to the enemy's one....Well, this is actual war, not Hollywood. You can't replace hundreds of soldiers.

And for the love of all thats good in this world we get it the Legion wears skirts! That in no way reduces their combat effectiveness when you take into account their combat style.

1. Uses the power fist. The Armor they were is made to make the wearer STRONGER than before. This means he could most likely pick up one and throw him...
2. Yes it breaks down and that legionary gets slaughtered. They will run out sometime. Is Caeser/Graham really that blind to send wave after wave. If hes loosing tons of men im sure hes gonna pull back.
3. ...
