Dateline: Sarna, Sarna Commonality, Capellan Confederation, 21 October 3028 Kuo Company, Sarna 3028 Our readers have followed with admiration the brilliant use of terrain by the jagged remnants of Kuo Company (First Battalion, Freemont's Curraissiers), which retreated into the Hellfire Mountains where natural heat sources could hide them as they regrouped. Led by Major Sidney Xong, this group conducted lightning guerrilla actions which tied up an entire regiment of the Aragon Borderers for a month. These same Borderers referred to Delta Company, the recently-formed double strength assault group as a mere "March Recruit Troop". Yet Delta company, in a brilliant ambush used the heat factor of those same thermally-active mountains against the heavier Marauders the Cuirassiers were piloting. Forcing Kuo Company to do battle against the terrain advantage of a narrow valley locals call "The Slot", Andrew Redburn, CO of Delta Company, First Davion Light Guards, forced the surrender of Major Xong with damage to only one 'Mech. Our dictionary reminds us that the word "arrogant" derives from the inhabitants of Aragon on Terra. Those Aragonese were pre-space expansion, but their nature doesn't seem to have changed much.
