extreme measures

Grenada Reconquest- Iberian Campaign- Iberia-  With the disaster of the Alpha Atrocity throwing the entire reconquest into doubt the mechanicus contingent of the reconquest suddenly threw itself into the fight.  With the use of a handful of maniples and some extreme measures Iberia could be claimed to be reconquered leaving the three regiments on planet and the remnants of the other 9 to handle the insurgency that would arise.  Then additional regiments could continue as planned to the next targets of the reconquest without being diverted to Iberia.  The adepts of the mechanicus calculated this option of having the best odds of allowing the reconquest to successfully continue.  So without warning a mechanicus ship launched a kinetic and atomic bombardment of the capital city of Iberia Primus in an effort to reduce the defiant chaos stronghold.
