On 19 February 3068 his unit targeted the planet of [[Crimond]]. They found the [[3rd Lyran Guards]] ready to defend the planet. The Third Lyran Guard fell back when the Seventh Falcon Regulars attacked, only to encircle them in the foothills near the Tybalt Mountains. He dispatched his Fourth [[Binary]] to secure a supply line as well as a line of retreat, only to find [[Leutnant General]] [[Paul Zardetto]]'s command [[company]] blocking that path. The Guards inflicted heavy damage to the Clan forces, forcing most of the Falcons to retreat. Star Colonel Icaza had to sacrifice more troops to break out of the Lyran encirclement and leave the planet. Colbert Icaza saw his chances of advancement reduce, and the recovery from the failed attack set the Regulars options back years.<ref name=SSNBF/>

On 19 February 3068, Colbert was in command of the 7th Regulars when his unit targeted the planet of [[Crimond]]. There they found the [[3rd Lyran Guards]] ready to defend the planet. The Third Lyran Guard fell back when the Seventh Falcon Regulars attacked, only to encircle Falcons in the foothills near the Tybalt Mountains. Colbert dispatched his Fourth [[Binary]] to secure a supply line as well as a line of retreat, only to find [[Leutnant General]] [[Paul Zardetto]]'s command [[company]] blocking that path. The Guards inflicted heavy damage to the Clan forces, forcing most of the Falcons to retreat. Star Colonel Icaza then had to sacrifice more troops to break out of the Lyran encirclement and leave the planet. Colbert Icaza saw his chances of advancement reduced and the Regulars would take years to recover from the attack.<ref name=SSNBF/>
