Scitarii Commander Dossar replies to your request:

In Novomark - around 6000 strong with support of around 100 combat vehicles, including Immolators(which your men came to hate in thi campaign) and some Penitent engines. They have sporadic air support, but as Dossar's men are making progress in the Green Belt it's decreasing. They are planning to retake the planetary palace and civilians, which they have already planned to use as a bargaining chip.

>Have our three Thunderhawks transport as many marines as they can carry to Novomark. Have Thunderhawks conduct bombing runs over Frateris infantry if possible.
You have only 1 Thunderhawk available, check Chapter Deployments - other 2 are away(but should reach the system within a week or two). Done, 30 marines from the 1st Company with Chapter Master and Trianon are being sent to Novomark(please confirm this).

Macedon decides to rethink the situation from the enemy perspective. They are more powerful than marines, who have to take care of the civilians, also they have armour, it means that they will be a lot faster in the countryside if he manages to get the refugees out. However they are still scattered after yesterdays attack and demoralised by the surrener of their force in the Krodian mountains. Ok, let's think about it.

b) Hope that booby traps by themselves will be enough to stop enemy advance(enemy will dismantle them in d4 hours) and retreat with the refugees, fight a rearguard action if it comes down to it
c) same as B, except if you'll see enemy approaching, order your troops to quickly retreat to the jungle and leave the refugees to their own fate. Afterall, we can rescue them again, right?

>Once te enemy being their attack. Have Macedon and his 6th attack them from the rear.

Plan d) 30 marines defend the PHQ with the rest of Veterans and CM, while 6th Company(who are atm reorganising) will try to attack enemy from behind. Please bear in mind, that enemy knows that 6th company is located just beyond Feiros river and will leave part of it's forces to contain them, so this action might not be as effective as you might expect. Also, just as you used Feiros to help you defend against enemy, enemies will use it now against you.

After crushing the rearguard we will unite with the 6th and move toward the enemy main force which should either turn around to face us or will go after the refugees.

Don't bet your money on them, it will take them another three days to defeat the enemies(and that's only an estimate) and after that they will need to arrive and deploy for battle, which could take another day or more).
>Prepare to detonate the planetary HQ when we leave it and the enemy move inside.
That's possible, but please bear in mind that PHQ is a huge complex of buildings, most of which are ruined right now, so there's no way to blow it up properly. But you can blow up the few buildings that still stand.

Okay so final plan:

Reinforce the Planetary HQ and repel the first assault, inflict as many casualties as we can, pour it on them.

When they retreat to regroup, retreat after sabotaging the HQ, poison the water, supplies, grenades&tripwires in the supply rooms etc. Particularly booby trap ammo & fuel which they'll definitely want.

Have Scouts and wounded Marines booby trap flanking roots around the refugee convoy, along with any of our irregulars with experience in explosives (miners etc.).

If possible commandeer civilian vehicles to speed up the retreat of everyone.

As the enemy force reaches the outskirts of the PHQ, the last line of your traps spring into action. Controlled demolition takes down whole building on the enemy tanks, seemingly harmless crates of supplies explode with shrapnel, lacerating dozens of troops around them, even the streetlights bring death when custom-made grenades explode, raining death from above on passing Frateris. However enemy is not easily deterred - he has numbers, armour and desperate faith on his side.

Roaring Immolator tank smashes through a thin decoratve wall and rolls into the main square, firing it's guns as if it was Horus himself it was fighting. It's brief show of force is interrupted by an accurate krak missile that one of your devastators released from the top balcony. Another two Chimeras, that tried to rush through the courtyard, meet the same fate. One of them gets stuck when it's tracks are downed. The fire literally cooks everyone inside alive. Chapter Master observes it over the battlements and smiles to himself, thinking that this is the least these zealots deserve for daring to invade his world, the world under protection of the Ghosts of Retribution.

However enemy is desperate and it attacks without a thought about possible casualties. Your original plan, which you prepared together with Trianon while in transit to Novomark, was to await enemies to finish their first assault and then retreat. However that was not meant to happen...

Your force inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy, but for some reason they kept pressing, bodies piling and wrecked machines clogging up narrow streets of the Planetary palace. Suddenly, you realise what is their intent. From behind the enemy assault force appears a squad of Penitent Engines, probably the last of the terrifying units under enemy's command. They charge onward, decapitating your brothers, jumping and climbing over fortified buildings with their mechanical limbs, infiltrating your lines and sowing chaos among your men. You send reinforcements to intercept them, but by the time they reach the Northern Palace, they find only a bloody massacre and enemy troops pouring in through the breach. Only Terminators could hope to fight these abominations on equal ground, and they are busy holding the front gate. Now you understand their plan. There will be no second assault. No regroup. No time for you to retreat in an orderly fashion. You run through the empty halls towards the sounds of battle, when your vox comes to life, it's Trianon:

>Brother! We are surrounded in the North-Western Tower! It's just me and two squads, mixture of 5th Company and a few Veterans from the 1st. We are under attack from Penitent Engines! Those things took Brother Markus just a moment ago and ripped him to pieces in front of our eyes, but I fried two of them... Those monstrosities... Master, we have been outmaneouvred, but we still have strategical advantage. Retreat and regroup! We will hold them! But you better be back before we are done, I'd hate to have my last stand against these heretics...

Apparently Trianon is cut-off from your force and is under heavy enemy attack. North-Western Tower is probably the most fortified position in the palace, he will be able to hold out for some time. Will you use this opportunity to fall back or will you continue to fight no matter the consequences?

Old warrior smiles, looking over his shoulder at the Chapter Master, who disappears from sight a moment later. As soon as you are sure, that all of the men are gone, you draw Ironhaunt and charge at the enemy, straight through the third floor window. With shards of glass and pieces of plasteel you fly, accelerated by the power of your charge, over a company-strong enemy detachment and land on the other side of the street. "Star of Macragge" hisses in your hand and punches through 7 troopers, before hiting the side of Chimera and melting it's tracks. With the other hand you swing Ironhaunt and decapitate three closest enemies. You then use the shock of your sudden assault to break through their lines, while killing or simply crushing another dozen of damned zealots. You are soon close to the entrance of North Western Tower, las-shots and grenades are flying around you, but you are too fast for them. Then comes the real challenge. Two Penitents appear out of nowhere, their mono-blade saws reaching out for your throat. Your instincts kick-in without a second thought and psychic power rushes through your hands, frying both beasts, ending their penitence at last. Then you rush towards the gate, but the rest of the pack is already rushing at you. If not for the electromagnetic field generated by Ironhaunt, they would have definitely caught up with you, but at the last second Trianon appears above the barricade and releases a wave of disruptive energies that crush the inner workings of the closest monstrosity and drives away the others.
>Brother, you came! We thought it was the end!
You smile and reply:

While they are unable to stay around for long and deploy their full firepower, and their attacks are often blocked by ruins, they still manage to inflict significant damage on enemy force, before they are able to bring 2 Hydra platforms from behind their lines and open fire. While they are busy fighting Thunderhawks, you attempt to retreat from the North Western Tower, However your path is blocked by suppressed, but still numerous enemies.

Enemy force must be favoured by some higher power. As your Thunderhawks approach for a third run over the enemy positions, enemy suddenly reveals that they were keeping a battery of Hydra Flak Tanks just behind the ruined complex. When they open fire, sky is filled with rounds, all looking for a target. One by one, your Thunderhawks dive to the ground. One of them gets as far as Feiros river before it's engines finally fail and it hits the water, others fall in the city. Your forces fare no better - wave of enemy armour, unchecked by your birds, rolls over the ruins and crushes your defenders underneath. It forces your brothers to retreat, leaving you with Trianon stranded in the sea of enemies alone and without support. Penitent Engines, furious about your earlier trick, this time act more carefully and strike from behind, severing poor Trianon in half and cutting a bloody swathe through your ranks. Finally they reach you and engage you in a duel of such fiercity that has never been seen on this planet before. You kill three of them, before they take you captive. They don't want to do it, but those are the orders. Take the Chapter Master. Use him to achieve your goals. You, ofcourse, didn't surrener easily, they had to hold you down, while one of them sawed off your legs and your arms. Afterwards they pumped you full of drugs to stop you from casting psy powers, this was the only way to get you off the battlefield. The rest of your force suffered crushing defeat and enemies took Novomark. 6th Company was able to retreat, but your own force was so badly beaten that only two terminators survived, one of them without his legs. Refugee column was captured and this time enemies learned from their mistakes - all of the civilians were put to death immediately and their bodies dumped in Feiros river. This is a black day for the Chapter, maybe even the blackest ever. You may roll your toughness to see how quickly will you regain consciousness.

You regain your consciousness in a few hours in some dark dungeon, probably under PHQ, where enemy made his base after their crushing victory. In front of you sits a man in Ecclesiastic robes, slightly smilig:
>Ave, my dear friend. It seems this war is almost over at last. We are glad you decided to show your face and answer for your sins. But worry not. We think there has been a misunderstanding between our forces. We want to release you, but we want you to release us too. Negotiations are already happening. Your man, Macedon, I think, promised us 1000 wealth and a passage off planet if we release you. We are glad to accept such a generous offer. I hope you don't hold a grudge over us regarding your limbs. You were a true Astartes, there was no way to speak with you withtout... Immobilising you. Do you need anything?

You cannot believe this... This is not happening, it's impossible... The Chapter! The future! The mission! Wait, mission? Yes, the one that old man gave you. The one you were born for. You cannot. You cannot die this way. Mission comes first. You have to do your duty! You feel the winds of Fate howl in your ears as reality shatters around you, the monk disappears in mist of something stranger than warp and in a moment you wake up heavily breathing at the entrance to the North Western Tower.
>Is everything alright, milord?
Trianon looks concerned.
>Shall we commence our assault?
You can hear Thunderhawks approaching for the third run and you shudder at the thought of what could have happened.

Please roll 2d100, preferably by 2 players.

The force under your command slices through the enemy lines like a hot dagger through butter, leaving nothing but screaming bodies in your wake. Brothers that follow you look at each other puzzled, seeing you decimating enemies with unearthly fury in your eyes. They do not understand, they will never understand what you suffered for them and what you did to make this right. Unlucky Penitent Engines that try to bar your way out of the palace end up crucified on the walls by an Overcharge strike from the Ironhaunt. You hold them there for a minute, until last of your brothers leave, looking at their tortured forms burning alive. This will do. You release the power flow and run out of the building just as the Thunderhawks zero in on the building complex with a 'special' load of high explosives. Explosion can be seen as far beyond Feiros river, drawing attention even from Macedon and his officers. Collapsing building bury more than a thousand men who have entered the palace trying to catch you. Enemies, seeing the terrible carnage and with sun setting in less than an hour, stop their attack and attempt to regroup, thinking about their options. Under constant attack of your Thunderhawks, they are finally demoralised and even their ideals of faith and duty until death are shaken. They send you a representative to offer their surrender. Will you accept him?

>>29220370
Have him remove his overgarments, to ensure he is not wearing a suicide vest.

Accept him, for now.

>>29220370
"You shall be granted the Emperor's mercy this day for your unconditional surrender, hand over all arms, Armour and equipment, as well as exposing yourselves, so we do not fear suicide attacks."

He opens the entrance door and the man who enter smiles at you with the same eyes that smiled at you back in the dungeon.
>Ave, my dear friend. It seems this war is almost over at last.
He extends his arm to greet you.

>>29220582

"I will not be so ready to accept the hand shake of a man who has slaughtered my people, my men, my family, as I would anyone else, Lieutenant-Bishop Saragon Ursus, that is something you will have to earn back"
"Now, your men's arms, armor and equipment shall be given up to us, as well as your testimony for what has happened this day, as well as indefinite control and holding of every man, if this is not agreeable then you'll be granted the mercy you gave the innocent civilians upon this planet."

"You came to this world claiming friendship and betrayed my Chapter. If you dare to call me friend again, you will pay with your life, Bishop Ursus.

What say you?"

>>29220582
Stare.
>It is over so Varda will not suffer more under war. Not because my Astartes have lost the will to exact holy vengeance on those deserving. Allowing your unconditional surrender is a favour out of mercy, nothing else.

Look this man straight in the eye, Do not offer our hand to him.
>I am Glad you have finally seen reason.
>This is what is going to happen. all weapons and munitions will be handed over to us effective immediately, your men will then aid in the re building of this world to pay for the crimes you have commited.

The last battle of The Betrayal at Varda is over and Novomark is once more in your hands. In total you have about 8000 prisoners, a few thousands more have been scaterred and fled for the jungle. They will make good targets for our initiates to practice!

However the last battle costs us dearly. 5th company lost 10+d10 marines and 2+d7 devastators to the Penitent Engines. 1st Company lost d10 Veterans and d4 Terminators(separate losses).(this is for the first part of the battle where you rolled 100 for tactical combat and were outmaneouvred badly).

You took loot from the enemy force worth 50 +d20 x 10 wealth.

After a few hours of intensive search you find Horim the Heartless under a pile of rubble, where he was hidden away under collapsed masonry. If he wouldn't have been fallen to the side, he would have dug himself out, but as the force of explosion and the crashing house destabilised him, all he could do for the rest of the battle was to curse from under the rubble.

Also, all of the marines from 6th Company gain Veteran status if you'd want to promote any of them. Your doctrine also improves and there will be other things, but all of that we will finish in the next session.

thank you for playing, this battle of Varda was a real feels train, but now it's over and Chapter can focus on rebuilding itself and preparing for an even more glorious future victories!
