Assume the following facts are set in stone as canon.
  • Equipment in video above is being used by both sides
  • 20:1 NCR to Brotherhood Ratio per Haggerty's claim
  • How the battle engagements started and positions of forces during the battle are as seen in the video above
  • 200 Brotherhood forces total, 40 of the Brotherhood are in T-51B armor the rest in combat armor or Scribes.
  • NCR First Recon, NCR Rangers, .308's, Missile Launchers, Grenades, and everything else in the video are in play.
ROB gives you a 1,500 point perk system to make additions or alterations in an attempt to allow the BOS to win the Battle of Helios. Choose your perks wisely.


-Addition Modifier (A1), All Brotherhood members get T-51B armor including the Scribes (500 Points)
-Addition Modifier (A2), The Brotherhood get 6,000 Fusion Cells worth of ammo and an additional six laser miniguns (500 Points)
-Addition Modifier (A3), The Brotherhood get two dozen Stealth Pipboys and six Sniper Rifles. In addition to six veteran BOS Recon specialists (250 Points)
-Addition Modifier (A4), The Brotherhood get 3x Auto Docs <Sink Model>, and a HUNDRED Super Stimpacks (100 Points)
-Addition Modifier (A5), The Brotherhood get a MIRV Fatman and 50 Mini Nukes (100 Points)
-Addition Modifier (A6), The Brotherhood gets an additional SEVEN squads worth of combat armored Brotherhood soldiers using laser rifles. (100 Points)
-Change Modifier (C1), The Brotherhood get six hours notice of the NCR's incoming attack and with this an extra six hours for preparation or planning (500 Points)
-Change Modifier (C2), The Brotherhood's initial numbers of 200 are actually doubled due to a change in the past which sent a much larger expedition than in canon so there's 400 present dropping the ratio of NCR Troops in return to 10:1 instead of 20:1 (500 Points)
-Change Modifier (C3), Elijah gets his head out of his ass and coordinates all efforts into coordinating the defenses with the rest of the Knights (250 Points)
-Change Modifier (C4), During the the third wave of NCR attacks (The Pyscho's) an underground nest of Cazadors awaken and attack the NCR in the middle of their formation, the pack is 40 Strong Adults and 80 Young Cazadors (100 Points)
-Change Modifier (C5), A NCR Officer in the field is secretly a Caesar's Legion spy and sees this battle as a way to weaken the NCR and will use high risk low reward tactics to siege the Brotherhood with intent to maximize NCR casualties and minimize BOS Casualties. After 300 NCR Troops are killed recklessly the officer will be removed. (100 Points)
-Change Modifier (C6), The Protectrons the Brotherhood have are instead replaced with uparmored Assaultrons aka Dominators (100 Points)


Left over points
-Every 50 Points can be used to buy a token for one of the following
A) Revive Token ( Per RT Instantly Resurrect 20 Fallen Brotherhood forces of your choice during battle back to full health and fully repaired armor. They can only resurrect where they died or inside Helios 1.)
B) Unlimited Ammo Token (Unlimited Ammo for any and all Brotherhood weapons for a total of five minutes. Can't be stacked only refreshed)
C) Automaton Reinforcement Token (Once per AR Token used call in 4 Assaultrons and 2 Sentry's, these machines can be upgraded or modified inside Helios 1 by the Scribes for extra armor/new abilities or just sent to aid in the front line.
D) Radio Jammer Token (Once per RJ Token can jam all NCR radios for 15 minutes. Can't be stacked only refreshed)

What perks will you use and what strategies to achieve victory?

Honestly with how the Battle in Helios 1 is depicted I think the Brotherhood would use less tokens.

My own head canon wasn't as favorable to the Brotherhood as the excellent fan animation is. I was thinking the NCR was actually doing a better job then as per the video IMHO. But it looks like I'm the video they're taking casualties close on proportion to how much they outnumbered the Brotherhood by. :p

But since it's all fanon it's all equally valid.

I'll watch the video again but I'm thinking the Brotherhood might be able to pull a win in this Battle with far less tokens I reckon.
