I haven't RPed in IN in a little while so you have to make do with a copy/paste from a battle report thread when we blasted Erb on Rigel. Otherwise I suppose I could write up some random RP if needed.

""Ah yes the imperials, they did promise strong support for this operation. Well how did they fair in their first time out in such warfare?""
"Well Sir, they accorded themselves as best as could be expected. They were able to press well against the enemies HQ and savaged their defenses and wiped out one isolated enemy legion but in the end they wore out of ability to push on. They started to falter but our elite Guards Legions backed by the 2nd legion had arrived and could take no more waiting. Commander of the 2nd legion pushed his men with no regard to safety to halt the assault against the remaining Imperial forces. After they provided cover to allow evacuation they went back to battle. The enemy had used their training cadres to restore the 3 remaining legions at the HQ site but our forces proved too superior. They obliterated the remaining defense and wiped out the HQ site entirely. The competition between the Guards Legions and the 2nd legion was rather enjoyable to watch. After clearing the site and destroying the Erb Academy on Rigel fully they wasted no time and rushed the Castle of Fens.
That was a very bloody although short fight. The Elite forces destroyed most of exterior defense structures of the Castle and ravaged the defending forces before retiring in good order when ammunition had finally started to run low and the wounded needed assistance. After the fighting the Forces of House Helvesa rushed at their chance and finished off the defenders. Combat has slowed down a bit now that other Houses have gotten more involved and we are.....sharing the glory Sir."
""Well that is to be expected in a coalition...Still...This whole theater of operations would be better served as a solely House Farland operation. It is good for the imperial forces to get some practice in though. Carry on soldier.""
