[X] Plan Expanding Operations
@Isaacssv558 Let me know of anything wrong with the plan and provide any feedback you feel would help. Also I do have a question concerning the Intrigue action, will we need to roll again for the Big Brother action?
Edit: Changed plan based on QM feedback , sent more troops on the fiend action and swapped out manufacturing tech for robotics.
Martial:
[X] Promotion by Fire
[X] Yardwork
-[X] New Vegas Fiends
-[X] 175 Veteran Paladins
-[X] 105 Paladins
-[X] 25 Sentry Bots
Promotion by fire is a critical action in expanding our operations and expanding the area where we can exert our influence and secure potential assets. We should continue on the previous attack we launched on the fiends and see about crippling them as any potential threat, possibly destroying them later on depending on how the situation develops.
Diplomacy:
[X] Merry Band of Misfits
With the GM confirming that the California elements of the Brotherhood can survive fine till turn 12 before supplies start to dwindle and with the ceasefire in effect we can afford to see about improving our diplomatic operations in order to attempt a peaceful-ish resolution to the issue.
Stewardship:
[X] Dam Expansion
-[X] Hydroponics
[X] Bunker Bunking
Our food situation is beginning to become an issue and needs to be dealt with soon, hydroponics when combined with the research action by the same name will hopefully improve the situation for us. As for the second action any overcrowding issues we have should be dealt with before it has the possibility of creating any issues.

The main aim this turn is to further expand our technological base, helping to deal with the food situation, gaining more knowledge of robotics will provide for future opportunities for automation , and giving us a better insight into how old world electronics worked by getting an understanding for their programming.

You will need to roll again for all locked actions. Also, you can speed multi-turn actions with manpower based success chances by allocating over 100% success. It hasn't been particularly relevant with your limited manpower and is less efficient than the first 100%, but you can allocate up to 175 Veteran Paladins and 105 Paladins right now. You can get 210% with the Veteran Paladins, which would complete two months of the action and have a small chance to complete it entirely.
Advanced Manufacturing is currently of limited use as you don't have the materials or facilities to take advantage. Advanced technologies generally require some stewardship actions to put into use. You avoided this with the Pancor Jackhammer thanks to your Pre-War armouries, but getting the full benefits of Advanced Medicine requires a hospital and automation is very difficult without first researching robotics.

No, but you will get a hero once the evacuation is complete. You're already running pretty close to the softcap. You can (potentially, these are by no means assured) get 7 of Andrea Brixley, Arcade Gannon, The Courier, Caesar, Veronica, the King, Joshua Graham, Aaron Kimbal, Ulysses, Fisto, Jack, Testacles, Doctor Klein, and Mr. House. That is to say, 7 of those listed are fake and cannot actually be recruited under any circumstance.

I feel doctor Klein might actually be one we can hire though it will be very hard to do so, and require finding and dealing with Big Empty. Mr. House will never join us proper, we may make him a valuable ally but never a member of our group. Fisto is non sentient so obviously not a leader. Veronica is definitely a potential leader. Ulysses and Courier 7 are possibilities but I can't see a big reason to care about of either of them IC. Graham is possible but I doubt the series of events that led to him being cast out from the legion will still occure. Ceaser... ha no. Gannon mabye if the FoA show up we could poach him. The rest I don't know off the top of my head so no insights for them.

Remember this is roll under, you got a doubly mitigated critical failure. This is approximately equivalent to a normal success. (A crit fail with a 100% success rate mission of this type results in no casualties, but no progress. Your excess of troops compensated for this and increased the success level to bare success.)I won't be surprised if that means the Fiends have been exterminated

No, you destroyed about a third of their remaining members through sheer overwhelming firepower. They are currently down to about half their original strength, sufficient to begin reducing the mission's DC. You could have slaughtered them to a man and expressed the failure in casualties, but your troops automatically prioritize their lives over the mission outside of certain circumstances involving rare technologies.

[X] Promotion by Fire
The formalization of a military command structure goes exceedingly well. Ramos relocates to Black Mountain, where a static command center is established to coordinate the Chapter's combined garrisons. Hardin takes a more mobile approach, focusing on portability and compactness. His work allows deployments to be organized from the most convenient location rather than from the most established one. The only downsides are that Ramos can no longer focus solely on one settlement and Hardin's specialized improvements are unsuited for non-expeditionary use.
Gained: Command Center (100%)

Removed: Leaderless Penalty

Hardin's redistribution of the garrison goes exceedingly well. He increases Hoover Dam's garrison up to 400 soldiers split evenly between Knights and Paladins. With 2 weeks remaining until the end of the month, Hardin then sets the newly formed garrison to work constructing a rudimentary metal refinery to help replace the parts and supplies used in your recent construction projects.

By the end of the month, your forces are exhausted but the enemy's forces are reduced by a third.

While the Brotherhood has traditionally lacked knowledge in diplomacy, the NCR-Brotherhood war forced many members of the Lost Hills chapter to learn the basics. While this expertise was not sufficient for a formal diplomatic corp, it has aided the creation process greatly. By month's end the corp has established their internal organization. All that remains is to finish integration with the chapter as a whole.

The construction of a hydroponics facility goes is completed on schedule despite occurring concurrent to your hydroponics research. The week you spend researched is used to prepare the non-hydroponic components of the facility. Knights weld metal frames to hold hydroponics modules and begin to lay piping. By week's end, the research is completed and construction and installation of the hydroponics begins. The facility is still unfinished, despite the combined efforts of much of your chapter. Water does not yet flow through the irrigation system, and you lack the seeds to begin planting. However, you expect to solve those issues next month and head off the impending food crisis.

The previously cleared bunker is rapidly converted to a residential area with the aid of the newly arrived civilians. With half the month still remaining, they finish repairs on another section of the bunker complex, clearing space for further expansion.

-[X] Pre-War Government
Ibsen does a wonderful job sifting through the historical archives for data. He discovers that the Pre-War government functioned via a multi-tiered federal system. While the size of the each tier had fluctuated, with the old States being a mere fourth the size of 'modern' commonwealths, the general system remained intact until the War.
He also discovers a plethora of contradictions between the founding documents, which date back centuries, and more recent policies, which date back to decades before the war began. You think these policy shifts may help to explain why the Enclave's behavior towards the savages so greatly contradicts their official stance, which declares all residents of North America native-born citizens of their organization.

For future reference, what actions count as expeditions?

Things like spoiling attacks, yard work, and most magical mystery tour actions. Basically, anything that involves a force leaving base, doing something, and coming back. If the action takes place on base or in a series of trips it would not count. For example, neither the promotion or dam actions would count.
