Engagement Details:
During operations to recon a structure on works which showed potential for recovery of an alien weapons system. While en-route to the location we discovered that there were three other forces inbound to the location. When we were within visual range of the location we were able to determine that the other forces approaching the location were a small mechanized Ork force and an Imperial unit that appeared to be composed of an Imperial Guard unit providing support for a Black Templar unit.
I immediately attempted to contact the Imperial forces to advise them I would allow them the honor of wiping out the Greenskins in exchange for giving them limited access to the structure we were attempting to secure.
Our generous offer was scoffed at by the humans and they advised us that they would be taking the facility and if anyone attempted to stop them they would engage and destroy them.
The Orks engaged the Imperials on our left and it was felt that they best option would be to hold our position and advance slowly as the Orks ruched headlong into the imperial lines. Our position was supported by a squad of Broadside suits which had been dropped in by an Orca prior to the battle.
By holding the right flank of the battlefield we forced the Marines and the Guardsmen into a meat grinder in which they were forced to face off against the orks. The Orks had their transports stripped away but held the center of the battlefield while we provided them fire support. As the battle progressed we moved up the right slightly to attempt to provide better close support for the Ork forces but were never able to truly bring all of our firepower to bear.
the Orks lost almost their entire force in the battle but were able to hold off the Marines. The Broadside squad was responsible for destroying a Hellhound and a Demolisher .Tactically no one achieved a victory, in a way though we achieved a victory as the Imperials and orks lost a great deal of equipment while we lost only one vehicle to a penetrating shot.
A detailed list of casualties and estimated enemy losses has been forwarded to strategic command.
