Original post:
While I've seen many threads on factions on the first page and one about the four main choices I'd like to know which faction you believe the Mojave needs: The Legion or the NCR.
I'm Pro-Legion in this regard. I think it's a decision of living a tough life with the Legion or not living at all. It actually took me a playthrough to support the Legion. At first I was Anti-Legion (just ask Caesar's limbless body) but I began to see them as ruthless protectors. Now, Obsidian did kind of put them in half-assedly and they're probably not the most fun faction to play as, so this is more about who you believe would do better as leaders of New Vegas in teh realz lyfe.
And I apologise if this thread has actually been done and I haven't seen it, I just find it a very interesting topic.

I'm not arguing against what happened at Boulder City. Whether or not Searchlight was a "main battle" or not is completely irrelevant, it's still war. However, arguing against the Legion's actions is just silly.
Wouldn't it be better to try and chip away at the enemy as much as possible before the main battle?
In order to break down morale, equipment, supply lines and holding points?

yes but search light happened like 4 yours ago right in the game or so something like that if im wrong correct me. But anyways the story line you get to pick witch side and camp searchlights destruction really at all didnt play a important part to the second major battle of hoover dam
Well. Maybe not to the main battle, but due to killing of Nelson and Searchlight Legion got a foothold into the Mojave through Cottonwood Cove.
Frankly, they don't "need" the dam at all.
They could just force their troops through cottonwood cove and over Lake Mead through rafts and then sabotage stuff until the NCR weakens enough and has to pull out.
I think the only reason that Legion attacks the dam is cause they needed to place all endings final stage at the same place, the dam.

What would you have the Legion do instead? Should they just leave Searchlight alone?
Well the legion sends a quick bloody message all the time to damage morale of the troops, it has everything to do with the war in general really, Vulpus planted the bomb undetected and then the whole place is a green haze, hugely damaging to NCR morale.
yah but you forgot you can take back nelson from the legion if you help the NCR. so that would mean they only have cottonwood cove and one of the ranger stations is looking after that(but the legion would slaughter those people there at that ranger station like they did at charlie).
Well yes but if the courier never came along then the NCR would never have taken Nelson back, the NCR always need the help of a mail man in these times :/.
Well thats irrelivent as whoever has the courier wins.
Dead sea could have taken forlorn hope, but decides its better not to, and just asks you kill thier leaders.
