1 to 2 April 2011: The 69th Cadian Mechanized arrives to bolster embattled Uradeln units

1 April 2011:  Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, has met the enemy once more! While advancing through a jungle region of planet Scelus, 2nd and 3rd Platoons, under the direct command of Captain Ratliff, were set upon by the insidious Eldar. Wraithlords, giant monstrosities ten meters tall marched behind a wall of lesser wraithguard, automatons taller even than Astartes. Jetbikes swept out in vanguard, only to be annihilated by the full power of 2nd HW HUG platoon, and Sgt. Neuehoffe's sentinels. Their vile and debased psykers harnessed the vile power of the warp, scattering Bravo's most destructive weapons off target. However, their vile sorceries were no match for the Emperor's righteousness! Lascannons blasted huge chunks from their monstrous walkers, quickly disabling all of them! On the other side of the battle, several Xenos infantry squads held a primary objective. They fired throughout the battle, but were so pathetic that Bravo simply ignored them. Finally 1st Platoon (HUG) under Commissar Raege arrived and advanced in short order. The enemy was quickly overwhelmed and either captured or killed.
2nd and 3rd Platoons found themselves in close combat against the enemy wraithguard. Unimaginably tough, they were nearly impossible to kill, having no vital organs and no fear. However, not once did the valiant Uradelns step back! Sgt. Neuehoffe (Valour Medal, 3rd Class) ordered her sentinels into close combat, buying time to secure the objectives and move the infantry to safety.
Once successful, all units disengaged and withdrew. The 12th Caladani Artillery Regiment has begun saturation bombardment, and no enemies are believed to have survived.
2 April 2011:  The next day, in another part of the jungle, Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, under Captain Oelschlaeger, were attacked by the mindless, gibbering spawn from the Warp.  Commissar Mailloux, Lieutenants Rezner and Schwartz, and the men of 1st and 2nd Platoons (HUG), all earned the Valour Medal, 3rd Class Posthumously for bravely holding the line against the most horrific creatures that the Archenemy can throw against the Imperium of Man.  The Ordo Malleus of the Holy Inquisition and their allies, the Grey Knights, have been sent in to banish the warp spawn and to close the Warp rift from whence they came into the material universe.
On a much lighter note, that same day the men of Alpha Company, 3rd Battalion, under Captain Kipton Burba, conducted an enjoyable and educational training exercise with our Regiment's newly arrived allies, the 69th Cadian, Mechanized, in a desert region of planet Scelus, far behind the front lines while on R&R.
