Battle for the Ruins of Esko's Moon

Astra Militarum Portal

The Battle for the Ruins of Esko's Moon was a battle fought by the Tallarn Desert Raiders Imperial Guard against the Eldar in M41.^[1]

During the battle Captain Al'rahem and his forces faced off against the Eldar who were using similar hit and run tactics. Al'rahem, however, achieved victory over the Eldar by creating an exacting crossfire with a platoon of his men after trekking halfway across the moon to the ruins and striking through the lightly defended southern pass in, which the Eldar had believed was impassable. Al'rahem claimed the head of the Eldar Autarch Kaliell, breaking the deadlock between the two sides.^[1]
