Capture of prototype "Hipopótamo" mobile bunker by 5th Kompany, 11th Infantry Regiment

" This prototype was one of the first attempts at kreating a [heavy] tank. It was big and boxy, and prone to getting stuck on huge rocks due to limited visibility . . . the prototype was kaught on transport from a holding point by 5th Kompany flanking Grusan positions three miles north, where it was ran off the road by a squad led by Lieutenant-II Kolter Anthonu, a veteran of the Aquilan and Vegan Kampaigns. According to multiple within 5th Kompany itself, the prototype got stuck on some rocks after going off-road, which led to Sergeant Minor David Reynells and Soldier-II Klaude Ashward to [pull] out a machine gun, and started firing deliberately at it, massacring the entire krew within seconds, with stagglers being taken kare of swiftly. The Grusans had not fired a [single] bullet. For this act of bravery and prevention of the mass-production of a heavy tank, the detachment received the Kombat Medal.
