The Strongest Military Power of New Vegas

Post » Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:08 pm

Please state why you feel the force you voted for is the strongest and why?
Also the Brotherhood/Enclave/Mr. House are not listed because they are not capable of a force.
The Khans are subfaction of the CL for this poll.
Please keep this Spoiler Free.

NCR

reasons-

Largest military in the wastes (outnumbers all others by a ton)

Power (they hold the only real power sources. helios 1 and the damn)

they absorbed the desert rangers (who are epic)

Caesars legion is tough, but they oppose technology and modern medicine( like stimpaks and med-x) so they are crippling themselves.

I voted securitrons, but only if they have Mk.II upgrades. If not, I'd go NCR cause Rangers are godly.

Obviously, it's the Great Khans. I mean, that's why they're on the list, right? Because it's totally possible.

I feel it is the opposite, The part of Caesars Legion we've seen is'nt the full military force, It could just really be a Fraction of their full military force, The NCR however seems to have half of their military in Nevada (This bit of information coming from the Intro.), So they NCR could really have been butchered if Caesars Legion was there entirely.

That depends on what the Courier does with the different factions but if we exclude the Courier I would probably go with Caesars Legion because they are better organized and have better militiary commanders. The NCR is poorly trained and the Securitrons are just robots and robots can be taken care of with Pulse Grenades.

No, it's pretty much the full might of Caesar. That's why they've dedicated both of their head generals to the fight and their main leader is camped out nearby.

Since I can't choose me, which granted is a military of 1 to 3, it's by far the strongest.

I went with NCR because at the current time they are the strongest in the wastes. If CL brings a majority of their forces things would change, well except for the fierceness of the Courier's Military.

And? It is the only fight of significance they have going on. Their situation is the same as the NCR's.

The BoS IS a full force, if you ally them with NCR, Paladins [censored] every single Legionary in the Dam Power Plants. You know their bunker is hundreds of meters deep right? Its supposedly big enough to sustain an army, so I'd say they match the Khans in terms of size at the very least. They are the best equipped and the best trained military force in the Mojave.

True, and?

My comment about the Courier is that I feel that none of the available choices could cause the damage that 1, 2, or 3 (depending on number of companions) could cause. Still stand by my choice of NCR.

They may have left most of the army to keep raiders in line.

NCR is an occupying force, spread thin over a huge area. The Mojave might be the hottest of their war fronts, but it's far from their only one.

The full weight of the entire NCR military would be overwhelmingly powerful.

Caesar's Legion because all of their troops are battle hardened veterans who are ready to fight in any way. They also have alot of unsavlaged military tech since the southwest has alot of military installations like the place they got the Howitzer. They also have a bigger army than NCR (Chief Hanlon says it when you talk to him about the last battle for Hoover dam). They also were able to replace all of their losses, expand, and even get more ground after having suffered a major defeat.

Caesar's Legion does not keep raiders in line. They wipe them out the moment they meet them, give the survivors uniforms, then send them on to the next location.

The guys that were raiders in Caesar's land? Those are the guys you're fighting.

Update the poll, you can't include the Khans then ignore other forces of their level (Boomers, BoS, Fiends, etc)

I went with the NCR because I'm assuming the poll is limited to what forces are actually present in the Mojave Wastelands. Since the Brotherhood and Enclave were disqualified based on their presently small or non-existent footprints on the region, speculating about how powerful the Legion or NCR would be if they had all their strength in the Mojave seems out of bounds. After all, a couple years ago the Enclave demonstrated it's ability to project it's power all the way over in the Capital Wastelands, so I assume doing the same in the Vegas area wouldn't be outside their capabilities. The Brotherhood likewise extended their reach into both the Capital Wastelands and previously The Pitt, so their inability to project real strength in the Mojave if they chose to do so is certainly not a given.

I haven't gotten far enough in the game yet to see the robot police force as a significant power, if they are one.

The Enclave is dead in the West, D-E-A-D. The BoS is still strong with a moderatly sized, extremely well trained and equipped, and avidly loyal military force.

Legion.
Securitrons svck at the beginning of the game unless you upgrade them.
Khans are not in their prime anymore either. (sadly)

And NCR, just look at how pathetic alot of their troopers really are.
There's on in a camp which is a hydra addict.
There's this ranger who's a total wuss and don't want war at all.
We don't see any legionaries who's addicts or whimps.
The troopers have crap equipment and little training.
The only thing in the NCR which are of any use is the NCRangers and Desert Rangers.
And we know how BOS got defeated, they were superior in firepower and armor but when outmatched 15:1 then there's no way to win.

Legion, man those bastards train all day long in close and ranged combat and keeps a good check in their physique and doesn't [censored] themselves up with impurities like alcohol or personal enjoyment (gambling/prosttutes).
So yeah, NCR might have Desert Rangers, but they're not gonna cut it when Legion storms them down 20:1.
