You find yourself trapped in a web, deep within a cavern crawling with tunnelers surrounded by cocooned Chinese soldiers as they were being fed, one at a time, to a tunneler queen. You are fairly certain tunnelers do not spin webs but when it came to the aliens you suspected it didn’t matter. Right now, only able to move your right arm stuck by a glob of white web to an incendiary grenade, you were about to something very painful that would free you from the web.

“We’re all out of Med X”

Oh great.

You are able to barely maneuver the grenade to your face, where you pull the pin from it using your teeth, and then swing your arm away from your face.

There’s a bright, almost blinding flash of white thermite in the dark caern. You might have heard the sound of tunellers everywhere fleeing and the Queen howling in rage, if the burning sensation from your arm wasn’t blinding all your senses.
Fire leapt up the webbing, consuming it, slowly releasing you even as you could feel your hand melt like wax and the bone crack away. It takes all your 10 END to not pass out from the experience, as your arm begins to die, mercifully the thermite grenade falls from your nonexistent had as the fire eats up enough of the web to free your body, as you triumphantly free your left arm, grab the comsic knife and begin slicing away at the rest of the webbing, freeing your body.

You look around to see all the tunellers have fleed, as the Queen tunellers howls in a corner, shielding her eyes. DanDan, the Chinese stealth agent who captured then free’d you, is still stuck to the wall along with about a dozen other Chinese soldiers. You sense gun “Big Iron” on your left and currently only hand, along with the rest of your best guns in your inventory. You decide to:

>Take down the Queen yourself, mano y monster
>Use the cosmic knife to cut DanDan and the others free
>Flee and get out

Meawhile the 2nd battle for Cottonwood Cove rages on.

Kreger - [PA] Tribeam Laser Rifle
Moreno - [PA] Assault Carbine
Johnson - [PA] Minigun, *Sniper Rifle (sidearm)
Daisy - [PA] Hunting Rifle
Doc Henry - [PA] Tribeam Laser Rifle
Arcade - [PA] Plasma Defender
Doc Delilah - Gauss Rifle
Willow - "Beauty" (Unique Hunting Rifle)
17 Settlement Militia - Assault Rifles, Knives, Pistols

3 Centurions in are on hills with rocket launchers. Willow and Daisy with their hunting rifles have the West and East Centurion pinned, but the North was able to fire and land a target on the northern concrete structure, suppressing the settlement militia there, reducing their cover with a gaping hold in the wall as well as vision with smoke.

Three groups of legionnaires lead by Decani approach from three paths on foot, as many more are rowing for the shore.

Kreger unleashes his Tribeam Lasers along with several other settlers on the incoming rowboats, still too far out to see properly but will soon be illuminated properly by the flames around the vertibird. His experience in leadership helps pay off somewhat even at this range, ordering the other militia to fire "wherever they see a flame sprout up from laser hitting wood"

Moreno and Doc Henry lead other settlers to fire on the southeastern group, having the best luck, at this range they are illuminated by the fire and funneled into a narrow stretch of ground, as they down several of them. However ill news as they seem to be breaking off, not heading for the concrete structures but going to attack some of your civilians huddled in the tents.

To the north Arcade has dashed to one of the shacks there, his plasma defender in hand and in power armor, able to see both northern groups of legionaires converging on the camps. The northeastern group is headed for the civilian shacks.

>Arcade
"I don't think they're going for the militia. It looks like they are going for the civilians!"

Arcade stands ready to open fire.

Most of them are panicking, without direct leadership or available radios they don't know what to do besides huddle in whatever structure they are in.

High up in the hill Johnson is doing battle with Decani and some veteren legionaire. For being outnumbered he is doing fairly well, in part due to his power armor and minigun, but he is still tied up in the fighting and unable to aid with sniping duty from the hills as planned.

This is the current outlook and recap of the battle present, the turn has yet to change.

>what do we want to send to war?
Patriotism.

>>1452558
Well I think the consensus was we wanted to head for the Vertibird focus tree, while having a medium-ish army, but smaller and better trained than the NCR.

We would have our special forces, our heavy shock troopers, etc etc

>Rolled 98 vs Rolled 46

From his position Arcade fires off bursts of plasma from his Plasma Defender, striking at the Legion heading directly for the shacks, picking them off although more are still coming.

Willow peers into the hills above. Her target is very far away, but the light of Johnson’s minigun lights up who he is shooting at.

>Johnson
“Thanks for the help down there. I needed it.

Hey, I’m seeing more figures coming in from the northeast. I can’t make em out what they are.”

Moreno takes most of the militia to go to the aid of those in the tents under attack. He realizes that to simply tell them to run would only further cause chaos and might kill them, and decides to scream at the top of his lungs.

>Moreno
“FIGHT! FIGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM! FIGHT FOR YOUR LIVES!”

The sound of his raging voice blared from his electronic power armor helmet reaches into the tents, and they remember his impassioned speeches on the radio. He seems to kick the civilians inside into a courage frenzy. Many of them leap up to wrestle and tackle the legionaires, using the weight of their numbers against the battered force. Some die, but many more are able to hold down them long enough for Moreno and the militia to move in and shoot the legion as they are pinned or tackled, Moreno himself rushes up to their Decanus and fires off his weapon at point blank at his neck, killing him. The Legion near the tents are suddenly outnumbered!

We don't need to find old ones, since we're going for Vertibirds i assume we will have enough Scientists to piece together SPG's from cars and artillery.

>>1452636
Well the thing is about Vertibirds is that we see that it is possible given the schematics, as the BoS and the Enclave have them. SPG's are a different kind of vehicle, and if we are trying to build them out of ramshackle parts, it will be even harder as no part is the same. We can have our engineers in the future work on trying to design it, but for I say we focus on the tried and true vehicles

Kreger takes some of the militia and heads west, intending to gun the Legion as they approach on their boats.

"Holy hell, there's so many of them. . ."

>Kreger
"More targets coming in from the river. Fire!"

Kreger lights up some of the legion on boats with his Tribeam laser, again marking them as targets for the militia sent to his aid.

Meanwhile, in the southern building, Doc Delilah turns her Gauss Rifle to the south. The boats are brightly illuminated by the vertibird fire, the metal armor of so many Legionaire's shimmering from the flames. She crouches and stabilizers her weapon on the window sill, taking aim at a boat through the Gauss Scope and fires.

The shot pierces right through the wood, the boat explodes into splinters, as the Legionaire inside are thrown into the water. Looks like all that heavy metal armor and water doesn't mix, and they drown.

But so many more are on the way. . .

Willow and Daisy, along with most of the militia, had evacuated the northern structure due to the smoke. Where Willow aided in freeing Johnson, Daisy turns her hunting rifle on the Centurion to the north.

Rolled 64, 36, 46

The three Centurions open fire again. The one to the east fires at one of the tents but misses his mark, the one to the north is pinned by Daisy.

The one to the west aims at one of the shacks. It explodes into fire and splinters.

>Rolled 60 vs Rolled 73

The battle takes another bloody turn.

Johnson tries to snipe as many of the north as he can, downing several of them he can. They don’t stay in the open for long.

>Johnson
“I’ve seen a few of them entering the shacks. God help whoever is in there.”

>7 Civilians are killed

Doc Henry aids most of the militia and rallied civilians to finish off the legion in the tent, wiping out the original southeastern group. Some more die, and yet more of the settlers are armed.

+5 Ad-Hoc Melee-Armed Militia

He then leads the rest of them to charge on the north eastern group. Armed and unarmed civilians slam headlong into veteran legionaires, as Arcade, Henry, and the armed militia fire off at any targets they can. Bolts of plasma and bullets whir over around settler and legionnaire alike, heads explode into gore, bodies light up into molten plasma, and slowly but surely at heavy cost the northeastern group is being overrun.

-5 Fanatical Civilians
-2 Settlement Militia

The situation becomes critical in the south however. As much as Kreger, Doc Delilah , and even Moreno down as many as they can, they probably kill around 10 out of what feels like almost 100 landing or approaching the shore in the remaining boats, a Centurion with a huge blade behind them screaming at his men as they charge forward with shouts of “Retribution!” and “For the Legion!”.

>Kreger
“There’s too many of them, we have to fall back regroup!”

>Rolled 70, 55, 11
As the main body of Legionaires approach, the Centurions no longer hold their position In fact, they charge. They rush down the hill, huge blades in hand. Daisy and Willow fire off their hunting rifles at the one in the west, scoring some hits but whatever they are wearing its good armor as he comes bearing down on them both.
The one to the East also charges forward, while Moreno and his militia are busy firing on the boats he is unopposed as he also comes rushing with a big giant blade.

>Rolled 92
The one to the north seems to be under attack from the incoming force, who are firing at him with rifles and at least one automatic weapon. The Northern Centurion, having already been hit several times, goes down.

>>1453414
So thankfully we basically have two fronts, instead of being surrounded.


Have Johnson try to take out the last two Legionaries attacking that building.

Our beachfront force will focus on the Legionaries already landed and advancing up, focusing mainly on their leader. The two targeting that centurion towards the back will continue until they can then turn towards the two men in the dock.

The Pond force will try to finish up with their 3 enemies and rush down to try to take out that centurion.

All forces should began an orderly fall back to the buildings, while still putting the pressure on the legion. There should be no backs turned toward the legion

>>1453414
Have Arcade attack the North group, have him go out if he has to.
Johnson continues to attack the north group, attack the east group if there are no available targets.
Have Krieger and his Militia grab civilians in the west shack and fall back to attack the Centurion with Willow and Daisy, when the Centurion is dead retreat behind that long brown terrain.
Have Delilah and her militia grab civs and fall back to either the Long brown terrain or the northern shacks, have her shoot the east Centurion if possible.
Henry and his Militia is to continue attacking the east group, have 3 militia split off and join Arcade in attacking the North group.

>>1453541
I'm worried the boat force is close enough to charge into melle combat, where they excel at, it would be better to retreat.

>>1453562
I just noticed there are some civs in the brown tent, have Moreno and his Militia grab them(I forgot about them too) and retreat to the east, attack the Centurion on the way.

>>1453572
That's what I said

>All forces should began an orderly fall back to the buildings, while still putting the pressure on the legion. There should be no backs turned toward the legion

>>1453589
Ah, guess our plan is the same except on which enemy to target.

>>1453541
By the way the dots don't represent single units.

People must be out on a friday night

>>1453741
Yea, how about we combine the plans? It's basically a fighting retreat towards the north shacks, the only difference being the targets.
The one thing i don't like is the Pond force rushing downwards, i think they should head for cover first and wait for the Legion to get close.

>>1453760
There us no cover besides the buildings which is out of their way. It's best for the pond forces to divert a few legionaries

>>1453779
The shacks have spaces between them, and the Armory isn't the only building that can take hits.

>>1453741
I'm questing in one of those party quests at the moment, unfortunately. References are getting to high here.

>>1453779
And "Diverting a few Legionaries" will have the Pond forces overreach, fighting right in the open in the middle, where other Legionaries can attack them.

>>1453760
Occassionally I can combine plans especially if they are simple and easily within your capability, but in such cases as a battle specific orders are best agree'd upon so there's no confusion.

I will see if they are compatible though.

>>1453825
The only differences i think are the pond forces and Moreno's forces.

>>1453815
Well my plan was to have the pond forces finish up with the legionaries they have now, and hopefully take 2-3 away from the main force. The Legion isn't too scattered at this point.

>>1453541
>>1453562
>Johnson
"I can't hit them while they are in the buildings. I can't see em."

Johnson's minigun and sniper rifle can probably pierce the structure, you may order him to hose down the shacks or rush down the mountain, or stay where he is and continue to snipe.

>>1453853
*shack. Currently only one shack is under attack in the north.

>>1453844
They can do that when the Legionaries have come a bit closer, that way they aren't far from our guns.
I'm also afraid that the Legionaries will focus on the Pond forces, surround, overwhelm and wipe them out, that is unnecessary casualties.

>>1453853
Then have Johnson target the East group, then move on to whoever is the highest rank he can snipe.

>>1453867
And that is when our main Beachfront force would flank around them, pinning the legion between two attacks

>>1453853
Just have Johnson focus on the shack after the legionaries leave, if they leave, then attack

Still active all night, gonna brb for a bit. See if you can come to a solid agreement, I'd appreciate a single post plan.

>>1453878
>And that is when our main Beachfront force would flank around them, pinning the legion between two attacks
Oh that's a better idea, i was planing on setting up a killzone at the farm, but flanking them sounds much better.
>Just have Johnson focus on the shack after the legionaries leave, if they leave, then attack
Or have Arcade+3 Militia go in and fight them, that way we might save civilian lives.
>>1453853
I'm changing my plan a bit, have the Pond forces go down while Moreno+Militia goes east to fight the Centurion.
Delilah+Militia will get the armory and brown tent civs and retreat towards Willow and Daisy, Kreger will do the same with the West shack civs.

>>1453873
For the sake of QM, we can have Johnson target the east group, if the Pond group can go my original way

>>1453911
So final plan

Our beachfront force will focus on the Legionaries already landed and advancing up, focusing mainly on their leader. The two targeting that centurion towards the back will continue until they can then turn towards the two men in the dock.

The Pond force will try to finish up with their 3 enemies and rush down to try to take out that centurion.

All forces should began an orderly fall back to the buildings, while still putting the pressure on the legion. There should be no backs turned toward the legion

Johnson will help the pond forces until the legionaries leave that shack where he will gun them down

Sound good?

>>1453955
You forgot Arcade+3 Pond Militia attacking the North group, Moreno retreating to the east to attack the Centurion and evacuating the civs.
Other than that it's good.

SIDEQUEST
As the Tunneler Queen is momentarily stunned by the flash, you quickly take your knife and rush to DanDan, cutting her loose with your remaining arm as she falls to the ground. She picks herself up, and grabs a weapon, yelling at you.

"Free my comrades! We will destroy this monster now."

You watch her rush forward, pullling out her own sword and cutting away at the webbing. Not delaying, you do the same, dropping chinese soldiers from the walls and ceilings.

Cut loose, they still have their weapons and those who don't pick up discarded weapons off the dead and start shooting at the Queen. The Queen, howling in rage, makes blind, wild swipes at them. Several are killed, but more are firing back injuring the queen.

You realize that while your incendiary grenade burns, she can't see, and start throwing some around her. Its very effective.

You free the last soldier just in time to see DanDan's form phase into stealth mode as she sprints to the Queen, who roars in anger as wounds and injuries appear on its form, her attempts to swipe at the invisible thing harming her missing each time. As the Queen howls and roars you see it open its huge mouth with giant gaping teeth, and see and opening. You remember what you have in your inventory for this. You only have three of them, and swore to use them at the right time. On your last HP points, no armor, no stimpaks, and an arm missing this is definitely that time.

You pull out a certain grenade, a white cross painted over it, and pull the pin, waiting for DanDan to make the Queen roar again. Just as the monster opens its jaws, you lob the explosive and watch it enter her mouth.

You could have sworn you heard faint singing coming from inside the beasts mouth, before the blast knocks you unconscious.

The battle grows desperate. The mass of legionaires from the boat have disembarked and now join the frey, as the great throng of armored infantry now converge on your forces who fall back and try to regroup.
One of the soldiers coming from the docks breaks off and heads for a shack where some civilians are, no doubt with explicit intent to cause carnage, while the others converge on the concrete structures.
>5 civilians are killed

Rolled 72, 78, 82
All three Centurion’s have thick heavy armor and the muscle and endurance underneath to allow them to rush forward even as bullets and lasers graze their flesh. Where as your forces try to go for their leaders, the Centurions have the same idea. One catches up to Daisy as she tries to regroup, and begins pounding away at her power armor with his huge blade, the recoil of his strength making even her reel as she tries to punch back with her power armor fist, the old ladies skill’s in melee nowhere near those of the Centurion, her power armor the only thing preventing her from dying. Poor willow is unable to help as she’s trying to fire on a rush of soldiers attempting to enter the building.

The one to the east also engages Moreno in single combat, smashing at his thick metal with his own blade, as his best troops engage Moreno’s fanatical followers. Moreno is desperately trying to hold his own, even as the weight of Legionaires is bearing down on him.

The Centurion to the South by far is proving the most dangerous of all. He seems to recognize that Kreger and the militia within want to try to kill him first, so he picks up a dead corpse of a legionnaire and using it as a shield covers his body while advancing forward. Meanwhile, as fire is directed on him, the other legionaires rush to the windows and begin battling it out with the occupants within. They smash their power sledges and melt holes in the concrete with thermic lances, to stabbing blades or firing guns into the building inside even as the defenders try to fire back. The fighting is up front, brutal, and bloody but the problem is that’s exactly where the Legion excel. It’s all Kreger can do to maintain the morale and cohesion of your forces, who would have broken otherwise. He does even manage to rally some of the civilians inside to fight, even some children and pregnant are throwing rocks and scrap metal while the men try to hold the legion at the doors and windows with hoes and shovels, fighting for their lives.

The unknown forces have revealed themselves, your radio comms open up.

>Ranger Erasmus
“This is Ranger Station Echo. Our orders are to prevent the Legion raiding parties from trying to cross the river. In my interpretation of that, we’re here to help.”

Ranger Erasmus leads a group of ghoulish NCR soldiers in an attack. The veteran marksmen, with much experience at picking off legion troops, open up on the northern legionaries, this combined with Johnson’s sniping and Arcade’s plasma fire, Doc Henry and the main body of your militia decisively win the fight in the north.
Arcade takes a man with him and heads north to finish off the northern group. Sadly, the carnage in the northernmost shack is total as the Legionaire there have massacred whoever was inside.
-5 Civilians are dead

Free’d from the conflict in the north, Doc Henry, the militia and fanatics, and the NCR troops are rushing to the south to relieve the forces trapped there!

The only question is will they make it in time.

Well it looks like all roads converge on the beachfront.

Have Arcade and the man with him wait until the legionaries leave the building and then light them up.

Johnson should try to snipe some of the beachfront legionaries, while the NCR hopefully rushes to help the rest of our forces.

Daisy needs help so have the group behind the tents help her, (I think that's her there)

Now that our forces are all together, it't time to put on pressure. Have the soldiers in the buildings orderly file out and make a fire line between the destroyed shack and the the story concrete building.

The rest of the soldiers will hold their ground and try to group up with friendly forces

>>1455001
Moreno is the blue star in the east directly facing off a centurion in melee. Willow is the middle star directly west of the two concrete structures, firing at legionaries trying to enter through the side door to the west. Daisy is the middle northern star above the centurion to the west of the concrete buildings, facing him in melee.

>>1455013
Also if its not clear the southern concrete structure has a door to the west, a door to the north, and ad-hoc windows/firing ports to the south which Legionaire soldiers are trying to pry open and press through

>>1455013
>>1455021

Have Arcade and the man with him wait until the legionaries leave the building and then light them up.

Johnson should try to snipe some of the beachfront legionaries, while the NCR hopefully rushes to help the rest of our forces.

Daisy needs help so one or two soldiers need run between the two concrete buildings while the forces to the north of the tent will rush down and make up for the couple of soldiers that left to help daisy.

Now that our forces are all together, it't time to put on pressure. The soldiers in that main concrete need to spread back out and try to get out through the north door and join up with what seems to be Moreno's forces

The rest of the soldiers will hold their ground and try to group up with friendly forces

>>1454944
"Great to see you Rangers, we are getting overwhelmed by their numbers and could use the support. Please attempt to move south to relieve our forces in the buildings and assist the power armoured individuals."

All troops in the buildings, focus fire on those trying to breach your structures, then those attacking the heroes (Moreno + Daisy) and then that single dot of enemies attacking those civilians in that house towards the docks.

For those troops outside of our structures south of the farms, attempt to get to defensive positions while eliminating as many enemies as possible. Primary focus is to eliminate any forces in direct / close range combat with you or the structure forces followed by their leaders.

For those troops north of the farms, finish off the last two enemy dots and move south to relieve the structure troops.


We can win this, but at what cost?

>>1455118
>"Affirmative. Aim for anything thats an easy target."


The risk of friendly fire is too great.

>>1455070
What about daisy? She doesn't have a lot of time left

>>1455240
That is why she is second highest priority. Above protecting unarmed civilians but below keeping the people trying to save her alive for the people in the structures.

The people outside of the buildings (south of the farms) are to focus their fire on those in close combat like those attacking Daisy, followed by supporting the Militia in the buildings and then their leaders.

>>1455295
When I say "and then their leaders" I mean the leaders of the Legion force, if that was not clear.

>>1455295
I can +1 your plan if you have atleast one dot move to help her. Then she can come help the main force

>>1455306
She is high priority target and will have approximately five dots along with another hero moving to support her. If you would kindly refer to the image.

>>1455311
But that;s after they deal with the legion trying to get into the building. That could be minutes

>>1455311
It occurs to me I may be misunderstanding the image myself.


She is the star to the right of the shack / building that most of the militia is in, correct?

>>1455318
Actually no, you are counting the ones inside the structure. They aren't the five I am referring to. I am talking about the ones not in a building as they will move to support immediately.

The ones in the structure actually bring the count even higher, assuming they can clear off their attackers.

>>1455328
Then which 5 are you talking about? Above the tent?

>>1455352
Okay, lets make this a little easier to discuss.


The hero we are discussing is represented by a star on the map in this post (>>1454944) and is currently in close combat with a Legion hero / leader. To my understanding she is the one south of the grey-brown structure, with the three blue dots next to her and north of the black rectangle with the tan interior.

I am stating that, the dots south of the green block, including those just north of the three red structures are going to move to eliminate the Legion troops in close range combat with them and their heroes, before taking up defensive positions where possible to support the troops inside of the grey-interior rectangle.

These troops inside of that rectangle, will attempt to defeat the troops trying to breach their structure before assisting the previously mentioned forces in melee range against the legion troops. If this goal is completed they will focus fire to eliminate the single dot of Legion forces attempting to breach the structure on the water front north of the jetty filled with civilians.


If all of these objectives are completed then they will attempt to eliminate the remaining forces of the legion, south of the green block.


Meanwhile, the dots of troops / heroes north of the green block will attempt to eliminate the remaining legion troops trying to kill off the civilians before moving south (unless they have a line of sight and an appropriate weapon) to support in the fight against the Legion's aquatic assault force.

>>1455395
I think QM said that Daisy was the star above the centurion right by the other star who is engaging the legionary

>>1455403
Well, I suppose we could have the troops inside the structure focus fire to help her before defending themselves but I am worried that the Legion may breach the structure.


Also, the hero with the sniper rifle, Johnson should try to eliminate any Legion trying to kill civilians, focus being on the one's by the docks.

>>1455413
Alright, I can agree to that. Put it in a post and I'll support

>>1455420
So here is the revised plan:


All troops in the buildings, focus fire on those attacking the heroes (Moreno + Daisy), then those trying to breach your structures and then that single dot of enemies attacking those civilians in that house towards the docks if they are still alive. If not, continue general fire.

For those troops outside of our structures south of the farms, attempt to get to defensive positions while eliminating as many enemies as possible. Primary focus is to eliminate any forces in direct / close range combat with you or the structure forces followed by the Legion leaders.

For those troops north of the farms, finish off the last two enemy dots and link up with the NCR troops before moving south to relieve the structure troops. Except for Johnson, maintain your sniping position and try to eliminate any enemies possible, focus given to defending civilians.


Also, if someone can explain the situation to the NCR troops, that would be great.

Looking at those dice, RNG is not with us.

SIDEQUEST:
You wake up, sore as hell, but bandaged, on a bed, and alive. Same old same old. You look at the stump of your right arm. Thats a first. The Thermite burned all the way through the metallic bone of your adamantium skeleton. Damn fine incendiary grenade, you think.

As you stir, vision and body shaky, you turn to see DanDan sitting on a stool. She's got bandages around her head and other parts of her body but is otherwise doing better than you. Her mask is off, for the first time, and you see her smile at you and light up. She says something in Chinese, and then English. "You are alive!"

She helps you get to your feet, steadying you. You look around to see other doctors and injured soldiers who stand or sit up from their bed in attention.

"When you killed the big one, the other monsters fled away. Many of us owe you our life. No foreigner has survived the nightmare in hundreds of years. They think you are a hero."

You look around at their faces, many of them have gratitude and others are in awe.

"Come with me, there's something I need to show you." Dandan leads you down the hall, where others also stand up as you walk past. You see children staring at you through the window, curious and wide eyed, before being shoo'd away. Eventually you come to a big hangar, and see in the center of the room something huge covered by a giant tarp.

"The aliens decided to capture us whole, our entire base and everything in it. We have a secret weapon with us all this time, they thought they removed the fuel source it would be harmless.

Our engineers have passed down from generation how to run the weapon. How to maintain it. Replace spare parts. But not how to make the nuclear fuel

We have been stockpiling power. Alien power cells. Fat man. We might even need your power armor for this.

No one of us knows how to make a fuel source for it. But you? I think we now have chance."

Two engineers show up and pull down on the tarp, revealing the vehicle underneath. You smile, today was going to be a good day.

AWW SHIT

Bitch please, we are getting a robotic arm!


I want a flamethrower built into it or something...

>>1455820
The Chinese Bàwáng tank.

A veteran of the war with America, and revered by inhabitants of the base. It is a huge armored vehicle, as big as as an NCR Diesel locomotive, with a big turret above that holds not one but two coaxial 155mm high velocity tank guns connected to an Auto-loader and shell storage. 4 inches of rear and side armor, 6 inches in the front. You've never seen anything like this.

The idea of a living breathing tank of the Old World is one that fills you with as much excitement as it does the base inhabitants.

You get to work with the engineers, reluctantly taking apart your remnant power armor (not too hard considering the amount of damage it already sustained) to pull out the Microfusion Pack. Taking in about 100 alien power cells, the fissile material of 10 Fat men, using your amazing intellect you are able to design, just barely, a system to transmit the power from these sources into a single engine. Its dangerous, but you consider it worth it.

This is the weapon the chinese hope to use this to break trough the walls of their fake wasteland prison, leading an attack to be free of the nightmare forever..

You are able to finish up the last touches, all that's left is to decide the top. There's an opening for an attachment to the tank, and three of them are currently stored in the base.

CHOOSE:
>Speaker Tower - A tall speaker tower able to help coordinate troops with a lack of available radio. During the war it was used to also boost morale
>Twin-Gatling Cannons - Dual Autocannons for obliterating foolish infantry in their way, even the vaunted American Power Armor troops would find themselves suppressed under the weight of two miniguns bearing down on them
>Bunker - A bunker with room for about 5 soldiers within. Typically snipers or Gauss soldiers, or also machine gunners.

>>1455883
>>Bunker - A bunker with room for about 5 soldiers within. Typically snipers or Gauss soldiers, or also machine gunners.
It could become our roving command center. Besides, the ammo for the Gatling would become too hard to get if we keep this tank

>>1455883
>Bunker - A bunker with room for about 5 soldiers within. Typically snipers or Gauss soldiers, or also machine gunners.

I know this fucking tank. Its an overlord Tank from CnC you shit.

>>1455904
I had expected the reference to be obvious, hoped the Quest reward of a big damn tank wouldn't be disappointing.

>>1455914
Power armor for an Overlord tank in my personal opinion is not worth it, However I'm glad you atleast have good taste in games.

>>1455920
As long as we get to KEEP the tank, it'll make it all worth it. This is end-game courier, he can have whatever armor he wants

>>1455883
>Bunker - A bunker with room for about 5 soldiers within. Typically snipers or Gauss soldiers, or also machine gunners.
overlord filled with rpg troopers was the best shit.

Ah shit we're getting wrecked.
I think we should spend the boon.

>>1455996
We're saving it for the eventual nat 1, or we could use it to rebuild the cove

>>1455999
If the Courier manages to bring back the tank we could use the boon with it to counter attack the Legion.

>>1455999
Personally I am saving it either for recruiting, a nat 1 or for healing after the battle.

>>1456004
We could take Nelson as retribution
>>1456005
Same

>>1456006
Well, a few good things have came from this attack: we now have boats and plenty of guns if we survive.

>>1451999
Aw man, Willow's in this? dropped

>>1456014
Seeing as that was and is your only post. Literally who cares.

How fast is the tank?

>>1456043
Presumably quite slow.

Here's what we could do, we could attack a Legion slave camp and use the boon on how many slaves we save/recruit.

>>1456053
No need, the slaves would be almost entirely willing to come with us to escape and almost entirely willing to join the people who saved them.


A more effective use would be for training our army or getting industry set up where possible.

>>1456057
The boon would effect the number of slaves, not their willingness to join us.

>>1456062
If we really need people, we could just put out a call. Go to freeside and tell them we have food and water for those that want to work

>>1456062
We don't want too many slaves at once, as they will require huge amounts of medical aid to survive long enough to be of use.

>>1456071

Your troops are caught between a rock and a hard place. Hammer between anvil.
And rather than break, they steel themselves.
With nowhere else to go they realize they either fight or they die, and they choose to fight. The Legion’s hopes of breaking the morale of your forces dashed as Kreger and Moreno roar words of encouragement at your own forces just as much as the Decanus at their own. But with your own forces with no where to go, and the Legion unable to accept retreat, the battle is going to have to be fought to the last man. Arcade himself even after gunning down several of the Legion to the north, now has to fight off their last Decani in hand to hand combat. Its something he will definitely win, in time, but the Decani doesn’t flee and tries to tackle and hold him as long as possible.
Assault Rifles and Automatic Pistols are fired almost at point blank range, as the Legion try to smash their way into the concrete structure. And this is where, in battles against the NCR, their tactics and methods display their weakness. Always whenever facing enemy positions behind cover with narrow space to crawl through, the Legion have to try to crawl over their dead or bash holes in the walls with their power weapons, only for bullets to greet them. Your forces hold the line, and thin out the Legions ranks. Those who run out of ammo or cannot reload resort to picking up their rifles and bashing them at the Legion, showing no cowardice in the face of death itself at the door. Even in the shack to the south your civilians decide to fight rather than let themselves be impaled, and many of them swarm and tackle a Legionaire. They weigh him down with their bodies, and save their own lives.
The Legion bogged down, from afar Johnson begins picking off soft targets with his sniper rifle thinning the horde even further.

The Centurions care little whether the battle is for good or ill, and fight on harder than the other legionaires combined. The one to the south continues to take blast after blast of tribeam laser, even as chunks of his flesh are torn off by Delilah’s Gauss Rifle he fights on, bloodied and prepared to die for Caesar. He opens up further holes for his men with his own hand and the power sledge of a fallen legionnaire.
The one facing Moreno also seems prepared to give his life. Even as Doc Henry and his group fire off bullet after bullet into his hide he grips Moreno by the neck and with his other hand bashes his faceplate with a machete.
Daisy, alone and with support far away, did her best but even with power armor her old age proved the greater disadvantage. The Centurion pulls back his sword and with a mighty two handed swing cuts the air with a whistle and slams into the side of her head, making an audible ring. Daisy is sent reeling to the floor unconscious.
Roaring in victory he turns to see Willow, who realizes she’s in deep shit.

The NCR soldiers move in from the flank.

Have the other forces with Arcade get that legionnaire off and killed and then haul ass to the rest of the battle. Have Johnson turn towards that Centurion that took out Daisy and try to take him out. It is a hard shot, but I feel like he wants vengeance and this is the perfect way to get it.

The forces in the house have nowhere to go, so they must fight or die now. The enemy is broken and bloody, but will not die until every last Legionnaire is dead. As for willow, have her try to run between the two cement buildings to the rest of the forces over by the tents to give her a little room and more support

SIDEQUEST:
You stand in the bunker, the throb of the engine all around you. It's noisy. It's cramped.

It's the greatest feeling ever.

To be inside a vehicle, a war machine. Behind the mobile fortress vehicle, you see Chinese troops, armed to the teeth with every weapon you can imagine. Even the women are armed and uniformed. All ready to help support the breakout of the alien ship.

The young adults and elderly will stay behind in the fort, along with a token guard.

The tank engine roars to life, and metal creaks and groans as the armored giant moves forward, climbing over artificial hills and grounds. It hits something, hard.

DanDan yells at the driver, who guns the engine, as 3000 horsepower drive almost 120 tons of steel and cannon forward. The air ripples and soon the charade falls, as first that breaks is an invisible shield projecting a fake hologram of the world. Then behind the white metal and armor of the alien vessel itself begins to bend and crack, until at last the tank punches a hole in the wall.

On the otherside you hear the faint sound of disintegrator beams striking the hull, before a thunderous cannon blast silences them. Chinese troops rush forward, gunning down few alien survivors. More aliens apporach in shields with robots at their side.

You feel the tank lurch forward, and then a slight bump and some satisfying crunching sounds beneah, and look out the back to see flattened metal and green gore on tank treads cut into the alien floor.

Pip boy on your arm, you have several leads on the ship, you decide to head for:

Willow high tails it from the Centurion, not really much of a melee fighter and no match for an armored 6 foot man with a giant piece of metal.

Johnson takes the shot at him (2) and misses!

Cursing his luck, as the Centurion chases the girl through the alleyway, he turns back to picking off Legionaires.

With help, Arcade and a settler militia manage to tackle and pin down the legionnaire, and Arade pops a plasma round into his face.
The last of the nortern group killed, Arcade rushes to join the main battle to the south.

The battle is going decisively in your favor. The legions own bodies and inability to adapt new tactics, especially as many decani and leaders are killed, causing them to be mowed down by automatic fire from your militia. Following orders your forces hold the line, the eastern group continuing to stand their ground as the NCR and the militia ranged troops guns down the legion where they stand.

The Centurion from the west continues to chase the fleeing Willow, now threatening her and Moreno’s group who are still locked in combat.
The Centurion to the South finally bites it, as Kreger blinds his face with tribeam laser, Delilah lines up a clean shot with her Gauss rifle, decapitating him as his body slumps to the ground.

The Centurion to the east continues to tie down Moreno. The melee militia and civilians try to pry off the Centurion, jabbing him with blades and bashing his back. He spills blood and guts all over Moreno’s armor but doesn't let up, howling like a wild animal, his face red with and blood. It’s a truly terrifying sight.

One of the NCR soldiers prepares to lob a grenade into the mass of Legoinaires. The decanus, realizing this, picks up his hunting rifle and fires.
A bullet strikes the grenade still in the soldiers hand. The NCR are knocked to the ground by the explosion, one of them turned into little bits of meat.

Have Arcade and his followers move over to the NCR to help and pull them to safety behind cover.

The soldiers in the building have to break out. Tell them to now charge the few legionnaires trying to get in to try to break the siege. Have willow and a few other Militia turn to face the Centurion. Johnson will try to shift focus to the Centurion by Willow if he can see him behind the tents.

Does arcade have Medical experience?

>>1456615
What cover? They only have the red tents.

>>1456617
Yes.

Doc Delilah does too, she's actually a bit better and more focused on it. Arcade is more your practical scientist than doctor.

>>1456626
I know. As long as they aren't literally right out in the open

>>1456638
He should still be good enough, have Arcade dash for daisy and heal her as best he can.

>>1456645
The tents won't help though, but if you still want to can't you have Doc Henry yell at them instead of having Arcade do it?(He's the furthest east star right?)

>>1456660
Doc Henry is the furthest east star.

>>1456588
The civilians north of the green square will exit their hiding places, grab a weapon each from a dead enemy squad and begin checking for survivors from either side. Survivors on our side are to be stabilised and moved to our medical stocks wherever possible, survivors on their side are to be shot.

The squad north of the green block along with the hero in it will begin moving south to support against the left most remaining centurion.

The squad closest to the docks will eliminate the Legionnaire they have brought down before moving to support the militia.

The militia insider of the building will finish off all of the enemies attacking their building before focusing fire on the remaining enemy, with priority given to those closest to our forces and the one threatening willow.

The forces outside of the building will continue to fight whoever they can, with whatever weapons they can.

>>1456669
I prefer if the greed block squad(Arcade) heads for Daisy, that way they can stabilize her and can shoot the Centurion in the back.
Other than that everything is fine.

>>1456691
Daisy is fine, just unconscious.

>>1456698
Hits to the head are dangerous, it's better to check up on her now before we regret it.

>>1456708
True but we don't exactly have the ability to perform any sorts of checks for a concussion or anything.

>>1456716
Yes we do, Arcade has some medical experience so he can at least keep daisy stable until Delilah is available.

>>1456721
What I mean is, we have no way of knowing if she even needs medical help in this regard and if so what to do.

Modern understanding of this sort of bullshit is hard to enforce without our equipment.

>>1456736
>What I mean is, we have no way of knowing if she even needs medical help in this regard and if so what to do.
Better safe then sorry then.
And the militia accompanying Arcade can shoot the Centurion in the back so it's not like they're abandoning the fight.

>>1456749
I suppose, Okay I can allow for this modification, so the plan is now:


The civilians north of the green square will exit their hiding places, grab a weapon each from a dead enemy squad and begin checking for survivors from either side. Survivors on our side are to be stabilised and moved to our medical stocks wherever possible, survivors on their side are to be shot.

The squad north of the green block along with the hero in it will begin moving south to support against the left most remaining centurion at range while checking on the state of the now unconscious Daisy.

The squad closest to the docks will eliminate the Legionnaire they have brought down before moving to support the militia.

The militia insider of the building will finish off all of the enemies attacking their building before focusing fire on the remaining enemy, with priority given to those closest to our forces and the one threatening willow.

The forces outside of the building will continue to fight whoever they can, with whatever weapons they can.

You will need someone to tell them this, there are few available radios beyond your power armor forces.

Would you like to divert Arcade or someone else?

Thread TL;DR?

>>1456963
Your are the courier you want to set up your own nation. You own Cottonwood Cove but are right now fighting aliens in Big MT. Your settlement Cottonwood Cove and your companions are defending against a Legion attack.

>>1456963
Check the OP.

>>1456963
For just this thread, we have had the courier escape some tunnelers, kill their queen, save a bunch of Chinese, and cannibalize our armor to power a massive chinese tank which we are using to cause chaos.

As for our settlement, we have been in a btural battle with the legion but seem to be turning the tide but at a cost of massive proportions in lives

bit of an IRL delay, don't worry update is still in the making

>>1457242
That is fine OP. Take your time if you need to.


So, I assume everyone knows the plan if we can capture this alien craft, correct?


We reverse engineer any of their technology we can with the help of the Big MT team before using a Sierra Madre replicator without the chip requirement to create more.

This means we could mass produce the alien technology and with large enough replicators, even their ships. More practically we can make more of their guns, energy systems and most importantly, replacement parts for our existing technology.

>>1457269
Yes, i want a focus on their shields first though, since that will increase our troops survivability.

>>1457323
Most certainly.


However I love the mental image of us encountering the institute and being better than them in every field of science except for biology. Then just subsuming them into our greater collective.

>>1457269
Yeah but the Sierra Madre machines replicate small things, not entire crafts. We could use that personal shielding and their weapons though.

>>1457374
Yep but that is because they never up-scaled the technology as the contract was for a vending machine but with chips. Ain't nobody going to get enough of those for a car or something.


Still, if OP says we can't make one bigger than X size, we can just use it for parts and then assemble shit.

>>1457382
My word of advice to all my players. Dream big. Dream really big.
But don't forget to dream about the small things too.

Your reach is limitless, it's just your grasp that isn't. As smart as you are you are only one man with so many assets and only so much ability, and you can't possibly know everything at the same time.

But even as one man, you aren't ever alone, and there's always someone to talk to for advice.

>>1457382
I don't see it possible making large scale replications, but we could maybe input the codes for the disintegrator rifles and body shields. However, I think that is going to be down the road, and we should focus on the now. We need to return to the Mojave, liberate it, and start working on the bureaucracy.

>>1457399
Basically, if we have an idea, don't argue with each other why it won't work, ask a relevent person. Like Klein or 0. maybe 8.

>>1457399
Technically there's 2 couriers if we figure out how to give our brain a new body. Maybe we find a bad-ass security droid or something for him...

>>1457399
Also we gotta have a motto for our nation soon.
I suggest "United we stand."

>>1457409
If negotiations with house fail maybe we can hook him up to houses cerebro

>>1457409
You'd have to see if your brain would be okay with that. He's quite comfy learning where he is right now.

>>1457425
I think we can convince him to help out. It's not like he can't go back once he's done working with us.

>>1457399
To quote a very wise song: A creatures reach, should exceed it's grasp, for what are the heavens for?


As is always true with fallout, you can see where the possibility of a phoenix rising from the ashes exists. Yet so many times it dies in the cradle.

It is our job, as a hero to lead to that destiny, as a courier to deliver man to that future and as a visionary to see the path.


Anyhow, it's not that hard to believe we could do this, as the alien ship's energy is far greater than what the Sierra Madre probably has or had available to the matter reproducers. It's just a matter of if we can increase the size of the technology.


>>1457406
>>1457408
He's saying it is possible but that the road to it is so very, very long and that we will struggle to get that far.


>>1457409
Correct but personally I would say getting him a robo-brain body would work pretty well.

>>1457421
Always been a fan of "In unity, strength. From strength, unity."


>>1457422
>>1457431
That would be kinda useless but I guess we could use him to replace house...

>robo-brain body
You mean a dinky piece of shit that'd be super off-putting for anybody to talk to?
Why don't we just find a protectron and upgrade it. At worst people would call him Primm Slim all the time.

>>1457432
Once we clear out the ship we can definitely get our brain and the think tank on the task of assimilating its tech, while we go and handle the mojave, and the ashes of cottonwood.
Remember, we can have every settlement doing something, and big MT counts as a settlement when its not in crisis.

>>1457468
>The first think Mobius does is dump the contents of an alien energy cell directly into his brain case
>technological boom 2281 begins

>>1457481
It should be fine as long as our brain babysits them.

>>1457463
Robo-brains were the cutting edge from before the war and are a vastly superior platforms to Protectrons.

However I suppose we could get him a slightly better body if we can somehow give the hands thumbs and possibly even getting his brain-case some armour.


>>1457468
>>1457481
>>1457487
Yeah, we should probably keep an eye on them or something.

Personally I feel we can't give the think tank any ability to resist our presence / intervention. We can do this by refusing to get them the technology and more subjects to study unless they obey us absolutely.

>>1457481
>>1457487
Are the Think Tank scientists even capable of research? They were completely incompetent in Old World Blues

>>1457494
We could just hardwire new restriction protocols on their Robo-Brain apparatuses, couldn't we?

>>1457495
They weren't incompetent, rather their abilities were just so sporadic and effected by their idiosyncrasies that they produced little.

With someone putting pressure on them, keeping them focused and actually making sure they don't get strangely obsessed with anything but the intended function we will get good efficiency out of them. Anyhow, they are some of the few people with any knowledge of pre-war science more advanced than a high-school text book.

Since we can't access the Institute, the Enclave is dead, Vault city is in NCR lands and so on. They may well be our only hope for scientific advancement for now.

>>1457495
They're fully capable of research. Unbelievably good at research. Possibly the best researchers in the world at this moment.

Whether or not its the kind of research you'd like is a different question. I'd reference the cut ending to OWB and remember that Mobius didn't play his trick because he thought they weren't incredibly smart.

>>1457501
That could work but they are geniuses. Very, very special geniuses but geniuses none the less. They could find away around it unless we are careful.

>>1457517
Don't forget we have the followers, they can help research.

>>1457525
I'm sure Mobius and our brain would be willing to keep them in check once we initiate restriction protocols.

>>1457528
True but they aren't inside of Big MT.

>>1457495
They lack focus, not intelligence. they just need a taskmaster to keep them on track. also, like others said. They're our best source of SCIENCE!!

>>1457551
Yep. Without a taskmaster they make things like dog-brained mini-guns.

With a task master, we get shit like stealth-boys more powerful than the prewar stuff while also being more cost-effective or suits with the same effect.

>>1457571
Well to be honest both of those instances were less the Think Tank themselves as per Big MT itself and its facilities and you interacting with them, which is and has been your primary source of science thus far.
