===291st Krieg 261st Infantry Seige Regiment===
c.830.[[M41]] The 261st under Colonel Tyborc was assigned the mission of taking the main gates of the citadael of Vraks in the first wave. The regiment attacked at three points along the walls after an enormous artillery preparation, sending in wave after wave of infantry companies. Ht the lower gate5, remnants of five companies from the first wave succeeded in reaching the walls, only to be broken by a sally of traitor marines supported by armour & demon Engines. Ultimately the regiment was destroyed in the fighting and the survivors folded into the other 3 regiments of the 30th line korps(262nd; 263rd; 269th regiments). Colonel Tyborc was promoted to a position on the army staff and the assault carried on by the 269th regiment.<sup>11</sup><br>
