Minutemen wouldn't have any vehicles or vertibirds. Or long-range radios. So there is no way to know anything beyond its borders. However, traders in the Illinois/Indiana area would have heard stories about the BoS and passed them on. Seeing as the Minutemen just consolidated their hold over Lafayette, they would not have bumped into the traders until recently. I never said the troops were hostile; they are taking precautions and scouting out the area. There might be a Super Mutant stronghold in Chicago, for all the Minutemen know.
Well if they DID Scout out Chicago, they'd find BoS guys controlling the city, Though if it's the eastern territory that they're gonna meet at, that might make a bit more sense. Seeing as it's only a few Border Towns, and not the main city.
The BoS recieved a Reading from the Energy Weapons readings from their Laser Muskets.
And Their reaction to guys with Energy Weapon heading towards them is kind of like "BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES" considering after they had a large run in with Calcatron, an enemy who's got Robot Troops armed with Energy Weapons,
Though thing'll probably cool down once they reach the border and see Minutemen, and realize that this wasn't what they were expecting.
And then after, Probably, Wasteland Diplomacy?
Also, since you gave the Teuton guy the Wisconsin land I asked for could you give me Milwaukee and Madison?
