+ | In January 3025 the Draconis Combine launched an attack on Deshler to distract the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] from the upcoming campaign for [[Galtor III]]. Stationed on Deshler at the time were the [[Fourth Davion Guards]] [[RCT]] and the [[Raman Draconis March Militia]]; Deshler was a key border world and the site of a damaged but still valuable former [[BattleMech]] factory, [[Aghama 'Mechworks]]. The Combine deployed several commands from the noted mercenary unit [[Wolf's Dragoons]] to capture Deshler. The Dragoons landed [[Beta Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)|Beta]] and [[Gamma Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)|Gamma Regiment]]s and the heavyweight [[Zeta Battalion (Wolf's Dragoons)|Zeta Battalion]] on Deshler, with [[Colonel]] [[Wilhelmina Korsht]] leading Gamma regiment against the Raman DMM at Valerian Bay whilst Beta regiment moved to capture the 'Mechworks.<ref name=WDS33-1/> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Expecting relatively light resistance, Beta instead found themselves up against the elite Fourth Davion Guards. Shostokovitch and Beta were forced to land far to northwest of Aghama valley, in the barrens. Beta Regiment was ambushed by Davion armor during their advance, throwing them behind schedule. As the whole regiment advanced into the valley, the Guards appeared to have fallen back. The Fourth, nicknamed "Dragon’s Bane", launched a massive ambush from hidden positions, using their [[combined-arms]] tactics to cut off Beta's heavier elements from their light recon companies. Captain Ramon Magdaleno's Baker-Third company was nearly overwhelmed, surrounded by Davion infantry and unable to withdraw or advance. The Betas would rally, however, around Major [[Anton Ivanovitch]]'s Charlie Battalion, the "Red Guard", one of the most disciplined units within the Dragoons. The Red Guard formed a perimeter, giving Shostokovitch time to regroup and rescue the remnants of Magdaleno's company. The Dragoons slowly advanced, facing heavy resistance the entire way. With the support of Zeta Battalion, they were finally able to take the factories in early April, only to find that they'd been stripped of all valuable equipment. Two weeks later, with the aid of elements of the [[Seventh Kommando]], Gamma Regiment was able to force a cessation of hostilities in Valerian Bay, inflicting serious damage on the Fourth Davions' conventional assets. Deshler briefly fell into [[House Kurita]]'s hands. However, as the Combine attack on [[Marduk]] had failed and the Galtor campaign itself was headed towards disaster, Deshler was at risk of being cutoff. Takashi Kurita reluctantly ordered the Dragoons to withdraw. Although they had taken heavy damage and were unable to hold the planet, the Dragoons had succeeded in their primary task of preventing the Fourth Guards from joining in the defense of Galtor, although the Raman DMM would later see action in that campaign.<ref name=WDS33-1>''Wolf's Dragoons (sourcebook)'', p. 33, "Wolf in the Fold", Beta and Gamma are chosen to attack Deshler</ref><ref name=WDS33-2>''Wolf's Dragoons (sourcebook)'', p. 33, "Battle of Deshler", Beta is pushed back by the Fourth Davion Guards</ref><ref name=WDS34-1>''Wolf's Dragoons (sourcebook)'', p. 34, "Bloody Aghama", the resists Beta's advance at every step of the way</ref><ref name=WDS34-2>''Wolf's Dragoons (sourcebook)'', p. 34, "Diversion", despite their victory on Deshler the Dragoons are forced to withdraw</ref> | ||

Planetary History
In January 3025 the Draconis Combine launched an attack on Deshler to distract the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns from the upcoming campaign for Galtor III. Stationed on Deshler at the time were the Fourth Davion Guards RCT and the Raman Draconis March Militia; Deshler was a key border world and the site of a damaged but still valuable former BattleMech factory, Aghama 'Mechworks. The Combine deployed several commands from the noted mercenary unit Wolf's Dragoons to capture Deshler. The Dragoons landed Beta and Gamma Regiments and the heavyweight Zeta Battalion on Deshler, with Colonel Wilhelmina Korsht leading Gamma regiment against the Raman DMM at Valerian Bay whilst Beta regiment moved to capture the 'Mechworks.[31]
Expecting relatively light resistance, Beta instead found themselves up against the elite Fourth Davion Guards. Shostokovitch and Beta were forced to land far to northwest of Aghama valley, in the barrens. Beta Regiment was ambushed by Davion armor during their advance, throwing them behind schedule. As the whole regiment advanced into the valley, the Guards appeared to have fallen back. The Fourth, nicknamed "Dragon’s Bane", launched a massive ambush from hidden positions, using their combined-arms tactics to cut off Beta's heavier elements from their light recon companies. Captain Ramon Magdaleno's Baker-Third company was nearly overwhelmed, surrounded by Davion infantry and unable to withdraw or advance.
