Battle of the Vasterloir Salient
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Battle of the Vasterloir Salient was fought between the Astra Militarum and the Ork horde of the Warlord Grashtak.[1]
The Warlord nearly defeated the Astra Militarum when his horde charged through the no man's land separating the two forces and broke through the Militarum's infantry lines. However, the Tank Company of the Jouran Dragoons Colonel Mitrofan Tesla, counter-attacked and forced the Orks back to their lines. Tesla then led the Jourans in pursuit of the Orks and destroyed hundreds of Grashtak's warbands. Due to the Colonel's attack, the Vasterloir Salient was broken open and it paved the way for victory in the campaign against the Warlord's horde.[1]
