The Boulder City Gamble is a military tactic wherein an inferior defending force lures a superior attacking force into a city, town, or large confined space (such as a valley, ravine, riverbed, etc) and then destroys said space with large amounts of explosives. This move effectively sacrifices any defenders left in the area of operation, while also destroying the attacking force and any momentum they’ve gained. This tactic is most famous for its use in the video game “Fallout: New Vegas”, wherein the New California republic destroyed Boulder City during the first battle of Hoover Dam to prevent any further Legion advance.
“The NCR used the Boulder City Gamble to stop Caesar’s Legion from winning the first battle of Hoover Dam.”

Get the Boundaries mug.A model of reality with clear boundaries, definite limits, and finite possibilities—the opposite of unlimited system reality. In bounded system reality, you have to make choices, accept constraints, and live with the consequences. This is the reality of everyday life—of deadlines, budgets, physical laws, and the fact that you can't be in two places at once. Bounded system reality is frustrating if you're an idealist and comforting if you're an overthinker. It's what makes decisions possible and regret inevitable. It's also where most people actually live, even if they dream of the unlimited version.
Example: "She dreamed of unlimited system reality—infinite time, infinite money, infinite possibilities. Then she remembered her rent was due, her boss expected her at 9, and she could only eat one lunch. Bounded system reality reasserted itself. The boundaries were annoying, but they also made choice possible. She paid her rent, went to work, ate her lunch. The infinite could wait."
