You need a high luck skill to get this as a random encounter. Apparently there are a number of Dr Who references in the Fallout games, except for Fallout 3.
Yesterday a random scenario surprised me by (1) being a lot larger than I expected and (2) proving to be enough of a challenge that I haven't beaten it to my satisfaction here. I began with one brigade of troops and (I thought) one objective. As soon as I sent them into the woods, the rebel brigade charged and routed them. They hadn't even ENGAGED properly, the rebels charged on sight. Within seconds I had another brigade, and I sent them into the woods to show the first few regiments what proper soldiering was. THEY RAN, TOO! And then I heard a barrage of alerts -- "Reinforcements coming up, general!" "New enemy officer has been spotted, sir!", again and again, and pretty soon I had more troops than I knew what to do with.
The game was just vomiting up troops from nowhere, and I had so many units waiting for orders at the same time it felt like a RTS game. The same thing was happening with the rebels. I had artillery scattered all over the field, but I hadn't had time to manuever any of them into good positions. Two of my batteries were caught between the main rebel body and the rebel reinforcements, and I lost them. I THEN realized that there was another objective further west.
I was soundly defeated, in part because I never paused the game to evaluate my situation and start making a plan. I like playing short skirmishes by the seat of my pants. I've never had this many routed regiments!
I tried again, this time holding off until my initial two brigades had finally arrived. Unfortunately I don't have any shots of that battle. I'm going to keep trying, though. As you can see here, despite my having both objectives, the second try was only a marginal victory because I lost so many troops. Those woods around Warfield's Farm were a real meatgrinder. If anyone wants to try it, the variant number is S37448.

Smellin what OS do you have and how did you get that to work? I haven't been able to play it (assuming this is Sid Meier's Gettysburg) since Win98.

You need a lot of firepower to fight for an Independent Vegas...
Not pictured: the dozen or so suits of armor in display in the other room, the six suits of power armor + Stealth Suit Mk2 on shelves in the back room, the several chainsaws, super sledges and both of my Old Glories laying around in the hallway outside this room.

I have a lot of awesome memories with that game, back in junior high my friend and I would rush to his place and start it up to see what we could do in it.
Of course we never really did that well
Windows Vista, 64 bit. I think I'm playing it in compatibility mode, but I'm not sure. It's not perfect -- the game crashes every time I try to save it, so I can't do the campaign, but I think that's just for Gettyburg, not Antietam and South Mountain.
The Civil War collection was my first encounter with Sid Meier's work.

Dawnguard!
Minor/slightly major/AAARGH YOU RUINED THE GAME FOR ME spoilers alert!
Serana, the compass and the spirit aside, this could just be not Skyrim.
My new desktop background, or why you should progress in the dawnguard main questline as quickly as possible.
Walking to Winterhold to ask around at the College, and I found the exact line Skyrim's climate changes.
One of the nicest places to look at in all of Tamriel, All of Morrowind excepted, of course.
(you may notice I always have the crossbow equipped. It's just too nice and powerful a weapon not to. I only used another weapon once since I got my Enhanced Dwemer Crossbow, which was because I needed clairvoyance)

It's probably Tholian space carbon tubules weave (radioactive!), so more solid than the cargo netting that it looks like.

Yea the last pic turns moriarty's bar into a strip club like bar and has Girls Girls Girls playing. That I do remember it gave Megaton more character.

Despite the fact that in Fallout's timeline that song probably doesn't exist.
