Come on Anon, insert diamond hands memes.

We will have the defensive positions and superior firepower, ignoring the qualities of morale, the fact it'll be a night battle and all those other factors in our favour - I'd be confident at a 3-to-1 advantage, if not even higher. The classic maxim is a 3-1 in favour of the defender, we've enough advantages in quality, position and equipment a 6-1, at least at first, may be practical. Our infantry, if we bring them, will likely not be able to do that, I'd expect closer to 4-1, but we've 50~ Legionaries left, discounting walking wounded and that even assuming a 6-1 would mean being able to hold against 300 - not a small force, especially if they're intending to move by trucks - but definitely something the NCR can send against us if given enough time. If we add our infantry in however, the number we can hold against rises to 1150 by my math, generous and speculative as it may turn out to be.
Hell, if we can find artillery shells or flamer fuel, we could create fougasse pits in our earthworks - even if they had to be triggered by fuses, they'd make covering a retreat much easier...combine that with barbed wire to limit their easy approaches, landmines just in case they cut through the barbed wire and to destroy any vehicles they bring and so on, we could definitely bleed them for every foot we fall back. Hell, if we're really lucky the pre-war military's gun / laser turrets were stockpiled here; toss a few dozen of those up and they might not stop an advance by skilled infantry, but they'll gum up any number of conscripts until they're shot to pieces.
