      I would regularly have battles with my stuffed animals between the dog and cat kingdoms. The teddy bear kingdom had a civil war over who they should support, and ended up becoming two nations, the cat bears and the dog bears (lore was deep, naming conventions were not so). Much stuffing was shed, many lives were lost.

    Most of this was Operation: Sunburst or The Battle of Helios One, where the NCR made a decisive victory over The Brotherhood of Steel. The power plant was a sensitive target that would require infantry advance rather than artillery bombardment. The NCR outnumbered the Brotherhood with a factor of 15 to 1. Their seemingly foolish charge into the Brotherhood’s fortified position was one of many, draining the Brotherhood's resources. This was a tactical maneuver that allowed the NCR sniper regiment to advance on the enemy's flanks forcing the knights to break defensive formation.

      To be fair, if The Courier helps them deal with their issues, they can handle themselves fairly well. It just doesn't help that the Mojave (group/division/battalion?) is under-funded, under-manned, led by a political appointee nimcompoop and their competent leadership is either disgruntled and deliberately making things worse or has their hands tied. It also doesn't help that they're underestimating the Football Rome-cosplayers.

      Violence is part of the human condition. No matter the circumstances, as long as humanity exists, horrible things will happen. Were not far off from our other primates. Were simple and stupid creatures. The human race needs time to evolve but.. I speculate that a human made catastrophe will likely slow (if not stifle) the process entirely though.

      against the brotherhood and their tech it's basically the only option, what the NCR has is the option to recruit more, the brotherhood on the other hand relies on close knit families that they can't afford to lose. If I remember correctly that the only reason they started letting outsiders in in the form of squires, they just kept getting swamped by the NCR. The NCR can afford the losses, their ideals appeal to all wastelanders, the brotherhood are greedy hording thieves that most wastelanders rather avoid, especially if they have anything valuable.

      And yet, somehow, they screwed up the NCR gear and guns. I mean, they're literally just Brodie helmets, a jacket, pants, goggles, cuirass and M16s (the Service Rifle is an M16 with, for some reason, a wood stock and locked in semi-auto). They could stop up by an Army Surplus store and pick half the gear right there. Pretty much the only part they'd have to custom make is the breastplate.

      SODAZ, the creator of the animation has to condense an assumedly, months long siege into a 10-15 minute animation that won't bore the viewer. An animation of the NCR just shelling Helios, wouldn't be as engaging as the NCR assaulting it.
      Besides, artillery will decimate Helios', potentially making the buildings facilities inoperable beyond repair. There is specifically a line in the original animation where NCR Rocketeers say "don't hit the building."
      Additionally, the full animation still isn't out. The bayonet charge was a distraction to allow NCR snipers to flank the BOS and get their heavy ordinance closer. We don't know if SODAZ would bring out any more NCR reinforcements in future previews of his animations.

      - BoS does not strike them at any point outside of the last episode, even in the flashbacks. New vegas is in ruins, Fiends are retconned as generic cannibals, enclave is not hunting the NCR.
      - Ironically the only faction that would have no reasons to strike NCR is vault tec as NCR is made up of, founded and build upon atleast three vaults and their populations. Populations that acted per vault tec instructions
      Miss me with your bullshit tourist and go back to enjoys some generic star wars slop or whatever you were consuming before finding fallout

    Just because of the TV show in the next game set on the west coast I'm almost definitely helping the NCR and destroying the Brotherhood.
    Only way that I wouldn't help the NCR is if there is a Yes man/Minutemen/Institute option where I can lead my own faction to victory.

      SPOILERS!
      Honestly, though, most likely, the Brotherhood (who completely wiped out the settlement Filly in show) will follow the protagonist into New Vegas. I REALLY hope the NCR throws everything they have at the Brotherhood. And not some rag tag NCR wannabes, but actual professionally trained, fatigue wearing, service rifle toting soldiers.

    Could you imagine being at Helios 1 and being told by your CO to charge a full Brotherhood battle line like that? Just a wall of metal so thick even large caliber armor pierces just bounce off armed with weapons that turn people to ash and glowing puddles.
