10 December 2010:  A raiding party of Dark Eldar made a futile attempt to kill and loot on planet Scelus but we have destroyed them instead and captured a few prisoners of our own!  The conceited xenos sought to waylay elements of Bravo Company, 2^nd Battalion, under Captain Oelschlaeger while our men were traveling through the Bewas Desert.  2^nd Platoon, inspired by Commissar Constantine (posthumous Valour Medal 3^rd class), fought to the last man and played a vital role in shielding our armor support and our Command element.  Captain Oelschlaeger, whilst ably directing the battle, called in close air support, which arrived promptly and wreaked havoc on the xenos scum!  When the xenos attempted to destroy a Valkyrie gunship carrying Lieutenant Schwartz of 2^nd Platoon, Melta-toting veterans jumped out of a nearby Vendetta gunship and shot them up, allowing LT Schwartz and his Flamer-toting command squad to jump out of the damaged Valkyrie and burn all but one to ashes.  This last alien charged into LT Schwartz and his squad and was personally hacked apart by LT Schwartz (Valour Medal 3^rd class).
