'''Ambold Eleven''' is a planet in the [[Sabbat Worlds]] Cluster, which was occupied by the forces of [[Chaos]].
==History==
Close to the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]]'s initial line of advance, Ambold Eleven was advocated, during the planning phase of the Crusade as an initial target for invasion, especially by [[Lord Militant]] [[Dravere]], as part of his "mid-line assault" approach. Instead, [[Warmaster]] [[Slaydo]] vetoed Dravere's proposal, leaving Ambold Eleven as an objective of the second phase, [[Operation Newfound]].{{Fn|1a}}
The assault by a joint [[Imperial Guard|Guard]] and [[Imperial Navy|Naval]] task force began in 756.[[M41]]. [[Admiral]] [[Karslae]] swiftly overwhelmed the orbital forts and Chaos fleet, establishing void superiority and allowing [[General]] [[Dilen Belfry]] to drop his forces into the important cities of '''[[Pelbury Civitas''']], '''[[Upper Ganff''']], and '''[[Amboldus Hive''']].{{Fn|1a}}
Although the Archenemy's forces were not numerous nor well-supplied, they benefited from the immensely strong defenses of the citadel, and repeated Guard assaults were driven back, at a cost of 9,500 [[Guardsmen]].{{Fn|1a}}
Colonel Begulin was executed by the [[Commissariat]] for gross negligence.{{Fn|1b}}
