Assault on Moros

Moros was a Imperial city occupied by Chaos and traitor guard units. Located in the center of Moros City is Fort Moros the Imperial seat of goverment.

Fort Moros is surrounded by water with three bridges leading from the fort to the city of Moros.

The "Assault on Moros" was conducted in three phases. The first was "Operation Scutum". This operation was tasked with taking the three bridges surrounding Moros City and preventing the Chaos units from leaving Fort Moros.

Once the bridges were secure "Operation Pilum" was the second phase. This phase called for Imperial Guard units supported by Marines to push in from the outskirts of the city to those units holding the bridges.

When Moros City was secured the thrid and last phase of the campaign was enacted,"Operation Gladius". Gladius was the retaking of Fort Moros and proved to be the most difficult. Bitter street fighting were the hallmarks of the entire battle with no quarter given or shown.

Some of the units known to participate in the "Assault on Moros" and the retaking of "Fort Moros" were.
