IAF028 Khamel Tracked Bike Set Released!

“Those Maligs can be a real nuisance.  Keep on sniping at you and throwing the odd grenade from places you thought were clear.  Like at Paradvar Hill when the rear elements of the 76th Regiment were about to climb to the summit the little sods appeared.  They had hid in dug outs while the bulk of the troops marched past.  They had sense enough to keep their heads down with Skylarks in the air and two super heavy Taranis tanks in support they would have been smeared soon as they popped up.  Even Khanate Warlords don't mess with Taranis, least not head on.   So there we were, three platoons of us, about to walk up Paradvar Hill when they appeared and laid it on thick with laser and apollo fire.

No chance of support, the regiment was engaged all up front with the Minotaur Legion for Paradvar Central about ten miles off; so we were pinned.  Too steep to climb under fire and the Maligs had set up remote mines.  Not big ones but they would take your foot off.  Maligs are cruel like that.  We lost four troopers initially and then we hunkered down and had a ponder.  I scanned the local net and found out that a a couple of fire-teams worth of Khamels were coming up on us.  They must have been patrolling the rear; lots of rocky and rough ground about here.  I pinged them and got an affirmative.  Their Emeritas had been dealing with other Malig Tesserans left behind to slow us up.  He said to sit it out and let them run up the hill.  Sure, I said.  No problem.  Better to watch than to catch a beam in the bonce.

Took about ten minutes for the bikes to arrive.  We all heard them coming.   The Khamel ain't the biggest bike in the army but it is real loud and its got presence that the Retained just don't get with their grav-bikes.  Being from the Patrol these guys just saluted as they passed us and went straight up the slope.  We gave them supporting fire but it was a sight to see I tell you.   Mines went off continually under the Khamels but they just rolled on up the hill.  Maligs shot at the bikes and the rounds just did nothing.  I had expected the riders to dismount when they reached the dug outs but then I remembered the tracks on the Khamel and I kinda lost my appetite.  They just rolled on, onto and into the dugouts.  It ended quick then but when we climbed up the Paradvar Hill I had to clean my boots on the way down again.”
