I'd just like to point out how the NCR forces should be getting decimated by Vertibird fire and robot laser fire right now. Power Armour troops are not like these invincible badasses who can kill everything in sight. Neither are NCR Rangers.

Like I said in the PM.

The Vertibirds never focused on the Rangers, but rather Alpha and Bravo Company on the main road. Not only that, the Rangers are not just bunched up together, they are pretty spread out as Rangers operate in a spread out fashion. I'm taking loads of casualties that I'm tallying up, but at the same time you must realize that Machine Gun fire from a fast moving target on people super spread out, won't take that much casualties. When I had them together, I rp'd taking loads of casualties.

I can get the post of us taking those causalities, and I'm constantly tallying up what I lost. So no, I'm not invincible. But neither are NCR troops just going to be slaughtered. This is the Company that has had survival and ranged rifle training in The Divide. They know how to keep a battle, and how not to be completely slaughtered despite the odds.

Sorta where my forces are now:

Blue is ranger positions, Orange is Bravo and Alpha Company, Red 1st Recon.

Sorta(?) fixed in main map.

They should still gradually see an increase in casualties. The benefit of Hank having so many protectrons is it creates a wall of lasers that would be aimed at your men, leaving cover at the wrong moment could kill them. Also, your advantages will decrease the longer the battle rages, the Protectrons won't tire as quickly as your troopers and injuries will not effect them as much due to them not needing to worry about a few hits in their frame.

I'm already retreating. So this battle is about over. Going to snipe a few more protectrons to allow the men to retreat, and then get out of there.

What is your total fatal casualty count at the moment?

How does my causalities being: 89 Protectrons, 34 Robobrains, 28 Mister Gutsies, and Sentry Bots sound?

[The NAR]

My casualties:

3 Dead.

4 Wounded.

It doesn't need to be that high. You could've lost closer to around 50 Protectrons, 20 Robobrains, 15 Mr. Gutsies and 2 Sentry Bots. The rest could just require repairs to function properly again and you can regain a few you lost by salvaging parts to make new ones from the parts of multiple old ones.

That's reasonable

48 Casualties which are full out deaths.

Started with this:

Rangers: 30
Heavy Troopers: 25
Troopers: 132

Ended with this:
Rangers 18 (12 Decrease)
Heavy Troopers: 12 (13 Decrease)
Troopers: 104 (23 Decrease)

48 casualties in total, with loads more wounded in minor ways.

Okay, I think that's good.

All troops retreated now. 1st Recon holding the Pit Stop, but everyone else is at Mojave Outpost.

[The NAR]

When Shepard goes total badass

[Waztaskio]

Well, Bishop is just real angry at the moment. He's about to get more serious about The Mojave, and his role to play in it after this.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Just that Bishop will have to be more careful in The Mojave, and think about dangers he never thought would be a danger.

Hopefully the Brotherhood won't be one of those dangers. The AoA forced my hand, but they're going to fall in line.

I have been having internet connectability problems lately, unfortunately. So I haven't been able to see the reboot IC yet.
Can someone tell me what has gone down so far?

[Kernan]

Computer acting up. Be back eventually

NCR vs Army of Anchorage and Brotherhood Forces went down near Nipton Rest Stop and Pit Stop. Pit Stop was captured, but Rest Stop wasn't. Tons of losses on both sides, with the Brotherhood taking the least casualties due to power armor and Vertibirds.

Other then that, someone else will have to fill you in.

So I take it the vipers and the viper leader that are camped out there have been wiped out?

To figure out where the Vipers are located look in the second post of the two part OP under mini-factions.

Ok so, I do recall in the last incarnation of this rp, there was a discussion about bullet proof deathclaws.
Nar threw a fit about it and several people mentioned having been able to take them out in the games.

I feel I must point out that that was, "in the games", as in game mechanics.
The games would be no fun if you couldn't kill the things or if you had to constantly run away from them despite your skill level.
So the game mechanics allow you to slaughter them after a certain level.

Lore-wise there is no leveling up cause this isn't the video game so your stuck with whatever skills you got or can acquire without such silliness.
Secondly, lore-wise the deathclaws were created pre-war to battle the Chinese. I think its safe to assume, they weren't built to be killed with a single headshot.
And they can tear through pretty much anything short of having a tussle with a guy in power armor. I cant be certain but I think the lore stated they could tear through power armor too but I would imagine that would be more difficult cause power armor is meant to make the person basically a walking tank.
Thus I think its safe to assume that their skin should be considered on par with power armor or stronger.

Suffice to say, they are already bullet-proof lore wise. Assuming we are going by lore and not game mechanics which allow you to eventually kill anything that isn't a human child if you have leveled up enough.

That's ridiculous. You can't drape yourself with Deathclaw skin and have it be more effective than power armor.
