The first Campaign is the pacification of Bakra, an temperate world.

The uprisers are commanded by the former PDF commander, Lord Geveral. Their forces are mainly made up of the basic rebels armed with reclaimed weapons, mainly old rifles and various weapons, their overall strength is 100,000 men. The core of the rebellion is made up of the original PDF troops who are well equipped and ready for our attack, their strength is 10,000men

Our strength is the scout platoon is made up of 1,000 specialist scouts. The main bulk of our force is the 50,000 trained but not proven guard troops, there is a final mounted brigade of 4,000 wolf chargers.

Your task imperial commander is to choose the area to land the troops.

It would be unusual (or though perfectly plausible) for a single IG regiment to be the first to respond to a call.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711706/9090101.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711706/9090101.page GMT
This is the only force within range to be combatting it as the Waagh Urgok has taken the majority of the imperial guard regiments and forces in the area, and as this is seen as more minor it can be dealt with later.

Also more information on the troops themselves for the regiment
The scouts are a more savage troopa and can be depended on for reliable intelegence even if they are nigh on unintelligible.
The mounted wolf cavalry came from those scouts on their homeworld of Tivan who had previously captured and used them as hunting beasts.
The scouts uniforms were not normal and were their normal overalls with an armoured head and shoulder section, this was coloured bronze, its like an extended hood. The normal imperial guardsmen armour was a burnished bronze colour with dark grey under clothes.

The main reason for the lesser number of guardsmen is mainly due to their decimation as they had a rebellion which nearly fully destroyed the regiment, this has caused them to be sent on the more suicidal missions. Their rebellion was triggered by the regiments primarus psykers that were corrupted by the scout company as they had dark beliefs and missions that the regiment did not know of, this caused a regiment of formerly 1,000,000 imperial guard called the bronze legion. The scout companys made up 200,000 of the 1,000,000 imperial guardsmen. The scout rebellion occoured while their troop transport was in the warp. When the transport made it out of the warp travel 1 in 10 men were executed, those that made it out of the warp and the decimationwas around about 57,000 imperial guardsmen with the current organisation involved. This being their first battle after the infighting happened.

But because of your choice to deploy in the mountains you have a more defencable position but at the moment you have only deployed 25,000 imperial guardsmen, you can choose if they are scouts or mounted scouts or entirely guardsmen.

The current leader of the first task force into the mountains is sir (Cornel) Valafrin, what are your orders to him?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711706/9091152.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711706/9091152.page GMT

Also mark out ranges for orbital bombardment]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711706/9091275.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711706/9091275.page GMT
From your well defended position with the troop carriers ferrying 1,000 guardsmen per drop, you see the main conponent of the enemy force making trenches surrounding the mountain region.

Straight in front of you spot the gold armour of the Lord as he is surrounded by the pdf troopers who are in the proces of starting the trenches in front of you.

He voxes over "We are the collective of the burning sun, and you will submit."

After he says this the mortars of the pdf start bombarding your position, multiple times your landing craft are nearly hit by the many heavy bolter shells or the streams of energy from the lascannons.

What are your plans?
Ps during this time 10,000 men have been ferried down choose what type of troops they are and how they will be used.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711706/9091541.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711706/9091541.page GMT
Hold my troops and fortify the position. Land another third of my army behind the enemy lines, near the forests, preferably the cavalry to disrupt their mortars from the rear.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711706/9091594.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711706/9091594.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711706/9091655.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711706/9091655.page GMT
But the majority of them formed up round the Lord and his surrounding trench work as rituals were taking place, you are not sure what rituals. From what you can see their casualties seem to be quite substantial, in the 10,000-15,000 dead range.
