→Battle for Voltis City
==Battle for Voltis City==
The [[Tanith First and Only]], under covering fire from the [[Ketzok 17th Armoured Regiment]] was to advance to the city walls and create two breaches. Once these breaches had been formed, the code word 'Thunderhead' would be given to the men of the [[Royal Volpone 50th]], who would assault on mass.{{Fn|1}}
Despite the commanding officer, General [[Noches Sturm]] of the Volpone's doubt as to the GhostGhosts's abilityabilities, they were able to detonate an explosive at the secondary site, causing a breach of several hundred meters in the outer wall. All with minimal casualties also, despite losing around 40 men to the flood. Colonel [[Maglin]]'s force of seven thousand heavy infantry then stormed the breach, taking the city before day broke. By nightfall, Voltis City was cleansed and safely back in Imperial hands.{{Fn|1}}
Once the initial fighting to get the Volpone into the city was complete, the Tanith pulled out, moving back to their base camp at Pavis Crossroads. General [[Noches Sturm]] ordered the [[Ketzok 17th Armoured Regiment]] to fire upon their position. This resulted in a further 300 dead and 200 wounded amongst the [[First and Only]].{{Fn|1}}
