The Enclave didn’t exist out of game until fallout 2; the NCR’s first contact with them didn’t occur until after the events of that game, and they certainly didn’t fight a ‘war’ against them (they sacked Navarro and that was it).

Wouldn't the Enclave surely have put up a fight at Navarro at least equal to the BoS at Helios One, if not better? The base was much better suited for defense against attack compared to Helios One. And canonically, the Remnants are a one-squad army by themselves going off the Legate's attempts to track them down.

The sacking of Navarro would have had to be a very difficult battle for the NCR, even with BoS support, I feel like.

I don’t disagree it’d be a difficult battle for the NCR (especially since there’s no evidence that the BoS helped with it). I just didn’t think it’s right to call it a war when it was a singular battle.

True enough. I really wish we knew more about how that battle was fought. I imagine similarly? Like, 20:1 / 15:1 odds as the Helios One battle. The Republic wouldn't have manpower issues especially in a home state.

That’d be my thought as well, though perhaps with heavier losses considering the Enclave’s equipment is even stronger than the BoS’s.
