NCR (Pro) vs Caesar's Legion (Con)

Caesar's Legion is a vast and mighty empire that has managed to occupy and control Arizona, the Grand Canyon and the eastern portion of the Colorado River. The soldiers within the Legion's ranks have an impregnable sense of pride for the cause they would very much risk their lives for unlike the gloomy, impassionate NCR. The Legion relies more on physical strength and agility, and tends to use stealth boys, machetes, throwing spears, anti-material rifles, assault carbines, revolvers, and super sledges. The NCR, on the other hand, entirely relies on pre-war and post-war weapons. And while many might presume that the NCR's reliance on advanced weaponry would make them seem like they'd easily outdo the Legion, because of the NCR's failure to deal with local raider outfits including the Powder Gangers and Fiends, many of their shipments including food, medicine and weaponry have been stolen or destroyed, leaving them weakened and defenseless. The Legion, however, seem to hardly, if ever, encounter this problem because of the army's self-sufficiency and well-guarded military shipments. Like the Romans, Legion military shipments would be protected by a group of armed guards on the journey to their end location. And, possessing an extensive workforce of slaves, the Legion can produce its own crops and produce armor and weapons.The New California Republic, or NCR, is a large federation based in California with villages and cities in Nevada, Oregon, Mexico and along the California River. However, while the NCR has managed to expand far greater than the Legion, the NCR must also spread out its soldiers, partitioning its limited weapons, medicine, food, and other technology (including the vertibirds my opponent has boasted about) to every soldier. This, in effect, has crippled the NCR's ability to claim holdings in the Mojave and take control of the Hoover Dam. Firstly, as I have said before, the NCR in the Mojave has been in a continuous struggle with the numerous raider gangs of the Mojave. NCR soldiers have been injured or even murdered by raiders, and necessary military shipments containing food rations, weapons, ammunition, and medicine, have either been intercepted or destroyed by raiders. And while the raiders are a terrible detriment to the NCR, the NCR lacks the soldiers and firepower to eliminate these raider gangs. Secondly, their lack of human resources, including doctors and engineers has clearly made an impact on them. For example, in Helios One, you find the idiot with sunglasses, Fantastic, the head engineer of the power plant tasked with turning it on. This clearly inexperienced and imprudent man was hired because the NCR did not have an engineer of their own able to turn it on, vividly exposing their lack of human resources in the Mojave. Because of these two reasons, the NCR is no less than weak and is incapable of fighting against, not only rag-tag raider gangs, but the Great Khans, Mr. House, and the Legion.While my opponent has argued that the NCR is a mighty, defatiguable force that could easily win the battle for Hoover Dam and annihilate the Legion with their "top-notch" weapons and other resources, the NCR presence in the Mojave is only a fragile, decrepit shell of what many envision the NCR to be. They not only lack morale, but also numbers, weapons, medicine and food and water to sustain themselves. They not only have to deal with their internal decay and local raider gangs, but greater foes such as the Great Khans, Mr. House, and especially the Legion. The Legion, on the other hand, is a mighty army with vast numbers, Every legionaire is proud to be in the Legion, chanting "Ave! True to Caesar!" towards every wasteland traveler nearby. With their large slave workforce, the Legion has also managed to be self-sufficient, able to produce food, weapons, medicine (specifically healing powder), and clothing. And, having trained in the military from a very young age of around 8-10, the Legionaries have not only the physical aptitude, but military knowledge, coordination, and teamwork to devastate, if not defeat, their enemies. In conclusion, the Legion, without the Courier's intervention, would topple the NCR in the battle of Hoover Dam and gain control over the Mojave.
