* There is an apparent discrepancy in the early narrative. The video states that Roger Maxson contacted Taggerdy and broadcasted his message from Lost Hills. Taggerdy's Thunder did not leave Spruce Knob Lake until around November 4, 2077, by which point they had already received Maxson's message.Taggerdy's journal: NOV 04 2077 However, Maxson's deserters left the Mariposa Military Base on October 27Captain Maxson's diary and, according to the official Fallout Twitter, did not arrive at Lost Hills until "a month after the Great War," in November 2077.Official Fallout Twitter: "November 2077, a month after the Great War, army Captain Roger Maxson arrived with survivors at the Californian bunker of Lost Hills. There he formed the Brotherhood of Steel, who used a functioning satellite to extend their reach across America… all the way to Appalachia." This date likely originated from the Fallout Bible timeline, which states the Exodus ended in November 2077 with their arrival at Lost Hills, "a few weeks later" (in reference to leaving on October 27).Fallout Bible 0: "2077 Nov Captain Maxson, his men, and their families, arrive at the Lost Hills bunker a few weeks later, suffering many casualties along the way, including Maxson's wife (but not his teenage son). The Lost Hills bunker becomes the HQ of the Brotherhood of Steel the Vault Dweller finds in Fallout 1."Sophia's tape If Maxson arrived at Lost Hills weeks into November 2077, "a month after the Great War," then it would have been impossible for him to have contacted Taggerdy from Lost Hills before November 4. However, the timestamps on the holotapes detailing this encounter are incorrect: The holotape Radio log: Aug 29 2077 describes Taggerdy's first encounter with Maxson via satellite, and is dated August 29, 2077 (two months before the Great War).See the page's Notes section for more details.
* The narration of the video does not mention the Brotherhood's capture of Grafton Dam, though a shot of a Brotherhood soldier in a standoff with two members of the Responders at Grafton Dam is shown at 4:05.
* The video states that the final stand of the original Appalachian Brotherhood of Steel occurred on August 18, 2095 at Fort Defiance. However, by the time Fort Defiance lost powerFinal stand and went silent on August 18 at 3:08pm, the Scorched invasion had not even reached the Brotherhood force at Thunder Mountain Power Plant. The Scorched were so far in the distance that Brotherhood scouts could only assume the "unknowns" were Scorched.Thunder Mountain Power Plant terminal entries; communications terminal, 95-Aug-18 The Brotherhood defenders at Thunder Mountain engaged the Scorched invaders on August 19, 2095.Thunder Mountain Power Plant terminal entries; communications terminal, 95-Aug-19
* The video misspells "Monongah" as "Monongha" in a map during the Steel Dawn section.
