Breakthrough!

"Following the significant injuries caused to Lord Marshall Platov, Captain Tartov will be stepping into command the 6th until further notice. Vox message end. Over and out"

Just like that Tartov was commander of a entire regiment, Pity he didn't even know on the way to invade the xeno tricksters in the Eldar. Tartov was sent to oversee the forces on the front.

Tartov was a commander who truly led from the front, hes famed in the 6th for being the first to clash with the enemy and always eager to close with the Xeno champions.

Along with Tartov was a well seasoned Lieutenant called Duka, Duka commanded a Leman Russ battle tank which He and his crew and seen countless campaigns in but Duka was to assist in the overall invasion with Tartov.

The men had landed in the Eldar territory several days ago but had absolutely no contact at all, Duka was sure thr Eldar had fled and Tartov was soon starting to think the same "i know Eldar are weak and cowardly, but to not even give us the honour of battle is truly pathetic" Duka remarked. Tartov stood next to Duka's russ silent, he could sense this is where the Eldar wanted them.

"Ambush!" Tartov ran ro where to the shout had come from and began ordering his guardsman forward desprate to close ranks the Xenos. Duka battened down the hatches and ordered his driver forward, scanning the vision slits in the cupola, Duka saw masses of Jet bikes flying towards the ranks, the Russ creeped towards the guardsman being pinned down by swarming bikes "gunner! Load HE, aim for the mass of the bikers!" As the Russ fired the bikers moved but some were still killed in the blast.

Tartov was ordering men forward, The fighting was intense but short the men had been caught in a ambush and the Eldar were close catching our men in close combat but being Vostroyans close combat was a common thing for the men, they had driven off the bulk of the Eldar but not without losses, 1st & 2nd squad had suffered huge amounts of casualties and 3rd squad was barely holding on but Tartov had claimed his victory for the regiment. As the men were reinforced and resuppling Tartov learnt of the regiment wide vox about Platov and how Tartov would be stepping for the next few months.
