Legion Assassin: Caesar has marked me for death! Me:*Loading gun* okay. Legion Assassin: Wait no, that didn't come out quite right- *gets head blown off* Me:*Putting gun away* nope that sounded quite accurate to me.
It makes zero sense how a fighting force, where most of them use machetes and modified football gear, can actually contend with an actual army that uses strictly guns. Yes, some legion soliders uses guns, but most runs in with machetes.
Every single time I encountered Legion units fighting NCR units or merchant caravans the Legion would get wiped out. The NCR would maybe lose a soldier and the caravans never lost a merc, ever.
Larger numbers and sense of purpose, most Legionnaries will gladly die for the cause. Not to mention use of terror tactics and subterfuge. While the Legions foot soldiers are a dime a dozen its their "Elite Units" who are the real trouble makers, Cause they have survived this long in a army that uses such antiquated tactics Compare this to the NCR Trooper. Overworked, under paid, and generally really doesn't want to be there as some of the idle dialogue tends to suggest. Ontop of that their higher ups dont send out the Ranger elites until after the point of escalation has reached critical mass

Rome’s superpower was almost exclusively industrial capacity. They lost nearly every engagement they had with Carthage and two of their giant fleets *died in a tornado* but they just kept building until they had a fleet and Carthage didn’t and then Carthage lost, ate shit and fucking died. After that it was smooth sailing because of better tech and tactics until the Persians stonewalled them because the Romans refused to adopt the cavalry meta to properly fight against the Persians mounted archers. And then of course the Arabs had to come in and shit all over everything. Word of warning, keep a close eye on your mercenaries, those fuckers are always up to something.

Friendly reminder that the original scene from Indiana Jones only exists because Harrison Ford got food poisoning and couldn’t do the originally planned fight sequence.
at the start of the game the NCR was getting their asses kicked. Somehow they just keep losing battles. If you comb over the quests it's nothing but the legion having to be stopped since they are torching towns. Infiltrating bases and sabotaging logistics. Legion just has high morale. NCR soldiers have low morale. Legion have access to the dam in places the NCR didn't think to look. It's weird I know hockey pads shouldn't stop bullets and they rely on melee weapons but in the lore they were succeeding. Until a stranger showed up with a big iron on his hip.
@@millerrepin4452 The hockey pads, leather gear, and football helmets were probably great against the tribes Caesar's Legion was fighting before the NCR lol.
Yes, cause war is all about upfront battles and not something to do with morale, logistics, sabotage. That's why US, the most powerful military, was able to beat and fully capture Vietnam because they're just farmers with bamboo sticks...
@@enricomugoy5869 actually the viet cong were armed with rifles previously taken from the French and rifles given to them by the soviets. They used these guns to kill American troops and take their guns as well. The Viet Cong were quite sophisticated, the “bamboo swinging VC” being what won a war is a myth.
I remember my first playthrough hitting a Viper Gang Leader point blank in the head with a 357mag and hearing her say "We're taking fire" and thinking, wth?
@@rookiesru7271what's your favorite weapon to practice with on them? I personally love using the survivalists rifle cause of the misaligned sights, but I also find fun in hip firing one handers like lucky, mysterious magnum, ranger sequoia, etc. And sometimes I just throw on my super heated saturnite fist and blow their guts up.
A couple GPMG positions, employing "talking guns" where you alternate fire between the two, and a bunch of support personnel with barrels and ammo, could have held the top of Hoover Dam indefinitely. ...Honestly kinda sad that the NCR would have any problem with Latin larpers in football gear.
Here’s the thing about your sword, larp boy: it may be sharp, it may not, but it doesn’t take out targets from a kilometer off. The antimaterial rifle has been known to do that.

*Big Iron plays* *You take a sip from your trusty Vault 13 canteen...*
Perfection.👌
While you were out partying, the Legion studied the blade...
What they never expect is a courier who has not only studied the blade, but mastered it. 100 melee weapons+ Gehenna= death
Well too bad my parties were at the range and I was able to hit 10 out of 13 shots let’s see if I can beat that record
And proceeds to lose 🪦🤗
Legion assassin: Ceasar has marked you for death!
Veronica in power armour: *punch*
Legion assassin: *literally loses head*
And that's without her using the Bloody Mess perk.
so no head?
It's even better when you use the glitch that allows you to have all the companions.

Well, you don't take a knife to a BIIIG IIIIRON fight.
And if you do - use plenty of chems!
@@suspiciousaction4063 Which the Legion also banned, ironically
A bumper sword is the biggest of irons.
Why ANYONE thinks the Legion can seriously win a fight, never mind their horrifically-backwards and ill-thought-out beliefs, is beyond me.

Instead of rifles, Rangers should just carry a Fat Man, wouldn't be much Legion left to fight at Hoover Dam if they did.
or much ranger lol
Or much dam
Not if they had god mode on.

Hand-loaded SWC bullets with the Mysterious Magnum took care of him in two shots.

As soon as I saw Indiana Jones I knew how this was gonna go. 😂

*Loads an explosive rounds on anti-material rifle*

Walking loot boxes with firearms to sell to the gun runners for a quick buck

Not true, they send a squad with very powerful weapons from their secret stash.
