"Remember the Alamo" will once again become the rallying cry of Texans fighting against foreign tyrants.
From what I can tell looking through the thread:I am sorry if this a repeat question but @Navarro has the Panama or equivalent canal be reactivated?
If the NCR was in any way capable of propaganda that'd be pretty easy to counter. Who was the party hiding behind the priceless cultural landmark as a shield? That's right, the hegemonic and homogenizing blob of the USA. Was it really that difficult to find an old warehouse or storefront to run their HQ out of? Why else would one set up in such a sensitive place other than to hold it hostage? Sounds like some Enclave apparatchik sacrificed the Alamo to a win-win gambit for the US to me.That is... hoo boy. Now the E-USA can start shouting remember the Alamo now and the E-USA aligned Texans are going to be even more incensed against the NCR, the neutral Texans are going to have shift towards the E-USA and the Independence faction of Texans who already had their leaders give up a portion of their land to the NCR are probably going to take a morale hit as they look even more like they are nothing but puppets to the NCR.
And once again a piece of history is lost.
That would be theoretically possible by the NCR, but considering how extreme the propaganda the NCR has put out about the E-USA already, which any Texan who has visited the Union will see is not true at all (besides maybe the general militarism that exists). Plus the NCR and the pro-independence Texan faction has a greater claim to have started this war when they did the coup and shot the pro-reintegration Texan President, then when a good portion of the populace rebelled against the mutineer government, the NCR and their allies came in to put them down.If the NCR was in any way capable of propaganda that'd be pretty easy to counter.

But yeah, the living are not the only ones to suffer in war.
To build on Crows point if you as a state put out unceasing propaganda about how your enemy is a soulless monstrosity, basically for decades at this point, if you want any credibility some part of that has to be true. The problem is that any moderately well traveled Texan or relative of the same knows it is all bullshit. As such the idea has already been planted that the NCR in any situation about the US will be the ones lying. That is a priceless advantage in any propaganda campaign.That would be theoretically possible by the NCR, but considering how extreme the propaganda the NCR has put out about the E-USA already
Looking real neat. Given the abomination that was the Fallout 4 tank
it seems both the NCR and BOS have managed to get proper design principles into production.
Sadly for the NCR it seems their technology limitations are really biting them here with the M2 stuck with a conventional cannon,
not good when you need to kill a US tank on the first shot.
I think the Caliburn has a seriously powerful gauss cannon based on the picture, giving it long range indirect fire and armor penetration capabilities.
Power armor is such a paradigm shift that it nearly obsoletes regular infantry completely.
There are some heavy shades of old colonial wars, though now the natives have the Maxim gun.
I literally don't understand the FO4 tank. Those weird quad-treads and the double cannon, plus the engine blocking the turret from doing a 360-degree rotation ... it sucks ass.
My personal theory is that instead of going through the trouble of making their tank model they just gave an intern a sticky note with "tank, dieselpunk?" scrawled on it.I literally don't understand the FO4 tank. Those weird quad-treads and the double cannon, plus the engine blocking the turret from doing a 360-degree rotation ... it sucks ass. Just making it a regular M60 Patton would have been way more reasonable than what we got.
Given energy weapons, it's possible to come up with a reason a double barrel could make sense, though having a bigger single barrel would probably still make more sense. The other parts though... no excuses there.Those weird quad-treads and the double cannon, plus the engine blocking the turret from doing a 360-degree rotation ... it sucks ass.
I knew my Soviet tank nerd sense was going off for some reason. For their sake I hope they embraced the auto-loader or have a booming dwarf population.Heh. The NCR tank is the chassis of a Patton with the turret of a Soviet T-72
When I look at it, it is better to consider it a tank destroyer then an actual tank. Bigger engine, limited turret, extra treads.
Maybe it was a salvaged Nork vehicle.

This is going to be a feeling of "These Californians interfered with our original legitimate government, invaded our soil, and wish to turn us into a banana republic, destroyed our heritage sites, all while claiming to give a crap about our right to self-determination." Because at the end of the day they pulled the trigger and can be argued that they started the conflict in the first place.
You know considering the partially justified paranoia of the US towards the president I half expected Marine and Airforce One to be fusion powered armored bricks. More like a Fallout-brand Thunderhawk really.Ch. 26 trundling along, took some time to do this while writing it:
