17 June 2011: Just as Planned!

17 June 2011:  The brilliant Captain Easterling, commander of Charlie Company, 1^st Battalion, has duped the Eldar foe!  Faced with three separate Eldar factions, each led by a Farseer, which is a powerful psyker, our maverick Captain convinced one Farseer to defect.  Thus did he use the Xenos warriors against each other and during the course of the battle our brave soldiers assassinated the other two Eldar Farseers, inflicted crippling casualties upon the Xenos scum, and ensured that the Eldar defectors suffered massive casualties so that at battle’s end the few allied Xenos survivors could be taken prisoner!  2^nd Platoon (HUG) suffered over 60% casualties to Eldar shooting and flamer weapons before being assaulted by jetbikes.  They slugged it out and eventually defeated that foe before being finished off by still more enemy forces.  Commissar Vona, who was the lone survivor of 2^nd Platoon (HUG) received the Wound Badge 3^rd Class.  Troopers Gotred and Felix, a Lascannon team, were awarded the Valour Medal 3^rd Class.  The pair came under enemy fire and the rest of their squad was killed, but they stuck it out and brought down the Eldar Walkers, blew up an Eldar transport tank – killing three nearby Xenos warriors and exposing the second enemy Farseer to die – and rushed a ruined building where the allied Eldar Farseer and his warriors were locked in a swirling melee with enemy Guardian squad.  Once the enemy saw their cannon they fled and this action proved pivotal.  The allied Farseer, the only one of the three left alive, had been wounded and was easily captured, along with the pitifully few remaining Eldar forces.
