Start strong yet small

You decided to form a group of 20 including you who had by luck found a hidden storehouse that was forgotten by the minutemen before the lost of The Castle. Most of the equipment was in rough shape but were useable. The best part of the findings was five sets of T-60 power armor and a stockpile of fully charged fusion cores along with a couple of gatling laser guns and a pair of fatmans. You could just use your powers but what's the fun in that. If something calls for it then you will in the most subtle manner as possible but nothing more than that aside from may be making a few minor changes.

You put your group a few hundred feet away from the Castle ready to try and retake it from the murlurk queen and her brood. As for when, it's three years before the Quincy Massacre.

You look at the Castle as your people get ready to fight. "Sir." Your second in command (SiC) speaks up with the other minutemen ready for war. "We're ready." You turn and faced them. "You all know why we are here. The minutemen are falling apart after the **** of General Becker and if nothing is done we will be no more. I say no to that! Today we retake the Castle or die trying!" You finished your speech as they cheered. You plan to win even if you have to cheat however unlikely. "We'll draw them out before gunning them down to minimize our losses and use of ammo." You tell them having a fire line formed as four minutemen were sent to kick off the hornets nest.
