Following the defeat and stalemate at the Dontora power station the High command of the Tellinor VII doubled down. Colonel Absolon Caledon was Regimental commander of the 7th Steel Panthers, a native PDF armoured formation.
During the Initial invasion the 7th a crack formation of the PDF sustained 90% casualties when a piece of the Heretic transport ship 'Fleshflayer' and several cargo containers crashed into the assembly yard of their depot along the Macharian Ridge detonating in a massive explosion, the 'Fleshflayer' was crippled by Imperial navy bombers in high orbit and disintegrated in the atmosphere spilling men, vehicles and cargo containers across the surface of the planet.
The 7th had be rebuilt from a fresh draft of reservists in the following weeks, many of the men and women had served previously, morale was high for the coming battles. The rotting machinery used in the production of Malcador Tanks long since put out of productions by the Administratum was reactivated and soon ranks upon ranks of the machines rolled off of the lines, whilst not as modern as the Steel Panthers previous Leeman Russ Mounts the crews were happy to be driving anything.
An armoured thrust south of Dontora power plant was organised to strike the Alexia Primus Plasma Generator Plant, encircling the defenders by cutting Highway 67 whilst a Penal Regiment assaulted the plant from the front.
Turn 1 Chaos Fired their artillery directly at the left most Vultures breaking them, before assaulting the Destroyer squadron in the forest and losing combat. Then the Guard began to move their tanks forward and punish waves of Battle cannon fire put many pins and left many smoking hulks in the Chaos armoured host before the vultures did a double action and put their Hellstrike missiles into the Land raider unit.
The battle began to unravel for Chaos as the Malcador squadrons poured fire into the Defilers and Land raiders breaking the Land raider unit., which 'retreated' towards the centreline objective.
Turn 2 the Defilers pulled back and shot and broke the last unbroken vulture squadron before the Malcadors moved forward and destroyed more breaking the defilers, the Superheavy tank squadron doubled back towards the Home objective and the shadow sword took a shot at the decimator.
The Dreadnoughts did not regroup at the end of turn 2 and sat hiding in the forest as the Destroyer squadron put down 2 more defilers.
Game ended with Chaos Contesting the Take and Hold objectives, whilst the PDF scored Break their will and Take and Hold. Rolling to capture the Alexia Primus Power plant, the PDF now Get 100 extra Points a turn, a special rule and +1 to their strategy rating.
