Fallout New Vegas: First Battle of Hoover Dam - Animated

In the year 2277 Caesar's Legion launched its first major offensive against NCR forces entrenched at Hoover Dam. This battle ended in a costly NCR victory with large casualties on both sides. In this video I show the tactics used as well as the major moments of the battle. I hope you enjoy it!

Man that Graham guy sounds like he could have a big part in some kind of dlc or something

I have never played fallout, but the Lore is kind of interesting.
I think it's neat how the legion set up its forces in the style of early Roman legions; With the youngest/freshest in front (The Hestati), the middle aged, hardend, prime, and more wealthy soldiers soldiers in the middle (The Princepes), and the old guard, the toughest veterans in the back, who were only called on when things were going south (The Triarii). That's a pretty neat homage.

This is perfect for my homebrew Fallout TTRPG. I currently am running an Operation Sunburst campaign that will tie into the First Battle of Hoover Dam.

Hell with a level 9 Char i've already racked up more human kills than the legion did at the dam, amazing.

Love that Obsidian even went in to depth able Caesar's tactics, and more importantly, that it's exactly how Rome's legions fought before the Marian reforms. The lowest-level in front (Hastati in Latin), the mid-level soldiers behind (principes), and finally the elite veterans (triarii) in the rear to mop up any remaining opposition. Incredible.

You should definitely do more lore videos like this! It's amazing content, while also beneficial to the channel as it'll bring more audiences.

Great video as usual!

You forgot the heroic last stand of a few troopers and a ranger that got cut off and surrounded in Boulder City!

I'd LOVE to see all the Fallout extended lore like this! Keep up the good work!

If the Legion veterans would have stayed at the dam and killed the ncr troops instead of going to Boulder city they probably would've secured the dam.

Incredibly well put together video! Please do more of these, you could cover a lot of battles, even ones we've already seen in-game.

Now I know why boulder city was mostly in ruins

Really cool breakdown bro, played New Vegas countless times without the context so this is cool to understand

[rhys]

Amazing job with the animation! Would love to see more of this in the future!

Only 107 losses for the NCR? I understand that in a post apocalypse there are probably less than a billion people left on the planet let alone in America but in fnv both the NCR and Legion seem monolithic in numbers.
There are hundreds of tents on the Legion side of the river each holding 3 to 4 soldiers each, and while the NCR is spread thin across the Mojave but as a unified fighting force they can forces at least comparable to the Legion.

This reminds of oversimplified but it’s with my fav Fallout YouTube

[ArgentDeer]

Definitely a huuuge fan of this, T0nik!! Everything turned out amazing! 😄❤ I'd definitely would love to see more of these in the future!

So Oliver really has something to be pissed, since it was him and his troops that held the line while the Rangers and 1st Recon got all the glory. However this eventually caused Oliver to disregard all advice from the Rangers and 1st Recon, effectively lowering the morale of all.

Yes, more animated videos please. Such a huge fan of the history channels that use them and impressed to see it for one of my favorite games. Great job on this one TOnik!

I'd love a breakdown on who would actually take the dam if the courier was killed, aka no player interaction.

Words cannot describe how much I wanted to see a video like this
