ACS: Revenge of the AECCP

[Lonestar]

Inquisitor Lorizael,

The purging of Polyton continues apace. We met stout resistant near the Glacier "MrFuneaintFun". The foul Chaos force led by the Traitor DinoDoc nearly overwhelmed us in the early stages of the battle. Fortunately, in a "once-more over the top" style worthy of Khorne, they slammed their infantry again and again into our defenses with no clear tactical plan.

Assualt Squad "Spiffor" was unfortunately wiped out in a violent defense of the lower valley. Chaplain Che gave last rites, then administered the Emperor's Mercy. While Librarian Slowwhand Held the lower Valley, I, Brother-Captain Lonestar, rallied our forces farther North. When the time was right, we encircled the central mountain, and moved South, running into a force of Khorne Bezerkers. They nearly overwhelmed us, but a call for fire support from the Orbiting Strike Cruisier ThunderChild broke the back of the attack.

With Momentum now firmly in our control, we launched a pincher attack Towards the Base. The Land Raider Day of Wrath led the charge with my Formation, while Chaplain Che and Librarian Slowwhand sorited out of our Southern Lines. In order to rapidly smash the Traitor's base defenses I called upon several Squads of Terminators from 1st Company to deep Strike in. Within minutes, the Chaos Stronghold was decimated.


The Chaos mob had a clear numuerical superiority over our Chapter for much of the Battle, but in the end they were no match for the loyal Astartes.




FOR THE EMPEROR!

Looking at the mini-map confirms what I had feared. I really should have gone north after failing in the first attack. Maybe left a few troops to supplement the stationary defenses I had set up incase you got any ideas. Battle might have turned out differently if I had done a little more recon instead of assuming you had me pinned in like the last battle. Glad I managed to change your game plan at least somewhat though. I'd like to think I'm improving at least somewhat.

[MrFun]

I'd appreciate an early warning of the danger of cross-fire before entering this thread.

[Lonestar]

Yer just jealous that all the cool posters got charecter names and you got a glacier.

As an Inquisitor of the Imperium of Man, I order you all to stop doing things I have no skill at; it makes me look bad.

Ah, but no one will know how bad you are if you don't tell them or show them.

Inquisitor Lorizael,

The focus of the purging has shifted towards the equatorial band, where the Traitor DinoDoc has holed up at "The Valley of Khorne". Very shortly, after we landed our intial force, a mass of cultists assaulted our position, nearly overwhelming our base. Fortunately, Squad Sergeant "Michael the Great" led the defense valiantly, along with sergeant "Grandpa" Troll of the Scout squads. The cultists broke upon us like waves on the beach.

Using whirlwind missile artillary, we shelled the Chaos citedal in an un-ending stream of steel rain. The enemy would sortie out, but turn and run like the dogs that they are when assault squad "Spiffor" jumped in.

Eventually, the Traitors overstretched themselves. Using the momentum gained, we quickly followed them into the base, using a strike from the Thunderchild to wipe out a large portion of their forces.

Alas, once more the Traitor DinoDoc escaped.





For the Emperor!

Silence!

I must concentrate on Amanda Tapping.

Inquisitor Lorizael,

While tracking the Vile Traitor Marine Dinodoc, we discovered a Xenos encampment in the Highlands. The perfidious DinoDoc had fled to the wretched Eldar!

Alas, with commitments requiring our Land Raiders elsewhere, we were forced to destroy the stronghold with lighter equipment. Utilizing the Dreadnoughts Brother Tuberski and Brother Patroklos we hemmed them in the North, while Sergeant "Grandpa" Troll led his team of scouts to the Xenos base, watchign the Eldar's every move.

Once the Strike Crusier Thunderchild had situated herself over the site, I called in several deepstrikes of Terminator squads, while Ground forces pinched in and crushed the facility like a pimple. I really, really grody pimple.

Alas, the Traitor DinoDoc had once again absconded....

(Sound of screaming and what sounds suspiciously like a space marine being squished. Record is blank for seveal minutes)

"This is Librarian Slowwhand, I have taken control, the Brother-Captain has been mortally injured by way of a Large Daemon with a Large Axe. Fret not! Apothecary Strangelove reports that'll all it'll take is a complete rebuild and he'll be good to go!

"The Chaos scume have expended the last of their reserves, we are pressing on to the Summit!"

(Roaring sound, then crash, like a Meteor slamming into the planet. Several Explosions follow)

"Forward! Forward! For the Emperor!"

"With the Roboute Rangers Strike force recovering from their wounds of the intial fighting, the Imperial Guard found their hands full. Fighting traitor IG, Cultists, and the Lost and the Damned up until this point, the men and women of the Cadian 1,082nd were stunned run headlong into a camp of World Eaters Chaos Marines along the Tainted River high in the OT Basin on Planet Apolyton.

It Began when a Sentinel patrol ran into several squads of World Eaters. The Patrol was quickly smashed and the World Eaters moved South en masse, hoping to crush the Guard forces in the sector. A stout defense along the river led to a repulse of the foul heretics, althugh several listening posts and firebases were lost, and reinforcements had to be flown in, among them several companies of Karskin from the Cadian Expeditionary Force Headquarters. The Super-heavy Baneblade Scourge of Heresy was also part of the arriving troops.


The armoured company moved north, with artillary shelling the World Eaters encampment, hoping to entice them to come out of their camp. It failed, and the WorldEaters moved Soutwest instead, where they collided with the Karskin force led by Colonel S'tar. In the course of the fighting it became apperent that the foul Traitor DinoDoc himself was here, and a Bloodthirster of Khorne was summoned. Calling in airstrike after airstrike on the attacking force, the Daemon and the Chaos Marines were decimated. Elite Karskin did the clean up, but the Traitor DinoDoc was not to be found.

Meanwhile, irritated at the waiting, Major "Crazy Ivan" Serb led the armour charge into the Chaos camp. Within minutes the camp, with the army decimated, was destroyed."

"We were leading a glorious crusade to claim the Planet Apolyton in the name of Chaos when we ran into what we assumed at the time was a small group of foul dogs of false Emperor. The initial assault went well and we easily brushed aside the pathetic defense that the "Emperor's" dogs had erected and got within site of thier headquarters when an unknown reserve of troops came to thier defense and crushed our initial assault.

It became clear that a more sustained campaign would be needed to cleanse this world of the stench of Imperium forces and this battle regardless of the outcome would only be the opening shot. We began by bringing in more troops to the area. Many squads of Horrors and Obliterators arrived and we prepared for the final battle. The pathetic Colonel S'tar even thought of trying to bait me with an obvious trap by shelling an insignifigant part of my base. Alas, the assault didn't go according to plan as the dogs were assaulting our base as we were attacking them on another front. I summoned a Bloodthirster of Khorne to serve as a distraction while I made my way to an escape shuttle.

Enjoy your victory Imperium slaves as short as it is. Soon enough your skulls will be decorating my throne and your blood will flow like fine wine."

"The Inquisition determined that the foul Chaos Lord Dino'Doc had taken a shuttle farther into the mountains, where the World Eaters Traitor Legion were gathering for another assault. Alas, with Roboute's Rangers still recovering, and so many of the Astartes in the Subsector tied up at the Cadian Gate, it fell upon the local IG Regiment, the Cadian 1,082nd, to attempt to overwhelm the Traitor Marines before they could strike into populated areas.

Colonel S'tar moved swiftly into the area, creating a noose around the Fallen Marines. It soon became obvious that the World Eater's had not expected the Glorious Forces of the Imperium to catch up wiht them so soon. While Colonel S'tar led the assault personally with several squads of elite Karskin, Major "Crazy Ivan" Serb drove the armoured component South and East, encircling the base. Once more, Dino'Doc had escaped, leading to speculation that the seemingly massive wastage and depletion of Chaos forces on Polyton had a more nefarious reasoning behind it.

[DinoDoc]

Curse the infernal fate that brought me to this world tempting me with ultimate power in the form of a STC yet keeping it just out of my grasp! My sorceror had told me of a powerful emination coming from this area. We set up camp and started to reconnoiter area and determined that the artifact wasn't in the area and the sorceror needed to be punished. I was in the midst of his execution when the slaves of the false Emperor discovered our base.

As much as it galled me not to bathe in thier blood and savor the cries of agony, the objective and sole reason for my being on this accursed mudball dictated discretion. I prepared a shuttle and left with the bulk of my troops leaving enough to cover my escape.

By Khorne! I will find the STC and wipe away the stain of the Imperium forever.
