    The way you've managed to make both the Brotherhood and the NCR look like competent military forces is amazing, and the fact that neither side seems to have a clear advantage over the other makes it all the more satisfying to watch.
    You have the Brotherhood, an extremely technologically advanced group utilizing some of the best equipment/training the wasteland has to offer. so anybody else i think would've shown the NCR getting their teeth kicked in for most of the fight. In fact; in this battle, that's mostly what goes down.
    Yet you clearly demonstrate The NCR's fairly competent understanding of Military Strategy. They attack from multiple directions simultaneously, Their MG crews actually know how to provide a base of fire for their unit, the Infantry know how to conduct Night ops to gauge an enemy's strength, they attack in multiple waves so as to prevent their opponent from getting the chance to reorganize.
    several scenes throuout this WIP series so far made me think "It's almost as if this fight was the First time the Brotherhood met a force in the wasteland that actually knew how to fight a war, and its caught them off guard."
    In short, you manage to reflect upon the realities of both forces during this fight, yet still manage to make both rather worthy opponents.

    I love the ww1 lobster armor being used, it adds a cool scene of ww1 tactics and trench radiers fighting beyond modern machinery and weapons.

    The animation goes so hard, I love how they use smoke grenades to mess with the protectron's sensors! Keep it up!
