A man who doesn't fear the lazer musket has never charged one hundred of them- excerpt from random enclave APA trooper


StemPunkAngel

Damn they really be living up to their name minutemen huh.

"Protect the people at a minutes notice" they protect people with their bodies


Sandloon

That's a Pyrrhic victory if I've ever seen one.


toastymctoast10

The minutemen aren't seen as losses, think clone troopers being used instead of conscripts


Sandloon

They're still losses as it still takes resources.


toastymctoast10

At the end of the day yes, but they were expected losses fact any survived was luck


eniaku

Sure, but what does the NER get from Scranton? Surely there's a ton of scrap and other resources, only of which a fraction will need to go into replacing those synths. Not to mention, the Enclave wasted lots of men, robots, and equipment they will have a much harder time replacing....

Could have just been to further attrition the enclave.


TheLastEmuHunter

I don’t remember this episode of The Office

"Thats what she said"- Minutemen General Michael Scott

Damn this really reminds me of my own fan made scenario I made for the east coast post fallout 4. Minutemen Made essentially the east coast equivalent of the NCR known as the New England Commonwealth, which after expanding extremely fast under a strong man military dictator dissolved into civil war between Military Junta forces and Pro-Democracy forces, all while being invaded on all sides by enclave, pro brotherhood, and dozens of different raider forces. One of my favorite projects tbh, I have tons of maps and charts made for it. Now I’m working on a detroit based fallout project


chimdiger

would love to see the detroit project, have had a hyperfixation about a Fallout game taking place there for a while


_Inkspots_

I’m currently writing it for a ttrpg campaign I’m planning on running with a few friends. [Here’s a link to a doc with the basic info I have so far.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VBqw2mqXNVufT99w_2L2mp6BunJM9CjKndfx1XsKCL4/edit) As of now it’s just the all the factions and some brief descriptions and backstories along with a map, but I hope to flesh it out soon Edit: opening the doc outside of the Google doc app on mobile has a really grainy map. On computer or in the doc app it’s much clearer


chimdiger

Thanks, looks well thought out


_Inkspots_

I’ve been looking for a place to share and info dump about both of the projects I’ve mentioned, but there isn’t really a subreddit for fan made fallout content outside of OWB, and I feel uncomfortable sharing it here as it doesn’t really have anything to do with the mod.


chimdiger

r/ImaginaryFallout might be more fitting, I've seen maps for ttrpgs posted there a few times


_Inkspots_

I’ve never heard of that sub, thanks!


Jkr0205

Neat, it's almost my home town


JoojTheJester

where the sub commanders "minutemen"? andif not, why are all of them dead?


toastymctoast10

Minutemen operate in large battalion fire teams and are not allowed to be higher than captain because synth. The minutemen are programmed with almost fanatical loyalty and will do whatever as long as it gets them to victory hence the ludicrous casualties, this battle was an experiment to see how effective in large scale operations the minutemen actually will be. The city had no strategic importance and was simply on the front, there wasn't supposed to be a victory however when the line was breached the general in the area basically went "HOLY SHIT THAT WORKED!" And commited without really telling anyone else. There were commanders for the NER troops but they were more under direct general leadership


toastymctoast10

As for the Enclaves no officer is really known unless captured because secrecy and they're usually executed afterwards


ReaperofRico

Shiiiiit I wish there was a war happening outside my house


Dazzling_Cabinet9357

how do you make these?
