History
PRELIMINARY HISTORY
The planetary system known now as Anhalt was separated from its nearest neighbours during the Age of Strife like much of mankinds dominion of the stars. Once a verdant agri-world, Anhalt III changed over time to a more industrial mindset. With the huge surpluses of food not leaving the planet the population was allowed to explode.
With this population boom, the high technology that the original inhabitants were used to, began to run down and deteriorate. This led to the regression of the Technological level of the planet. Lost were many of the STC's, and much that was done by machinery had to be done with manpower. With the meteoric rise in population and the decay of technological ease, tensions arose. In order to soothe these tensions, states were implemented so that like minded groups could govern themselves. The struggle between each of these groups was lessened and trade was started. The solution seemed to work and all the states prospered.
With this new found prosperity, border disputes started to become commonplace as human greed is unavoidable, and the heads of state thought of how to defend their own territory. Powerful alliances and bitter enmities were made.
At first these border disputes were small skirmishes, and for years and years this remained the norm. However grudges being what they are, these small scale battles escalated to larger and larger confilcts. It got to the point where millions and millions were deployed in each war.
Casualties were above what anyone had ever wanted. Each war was filled with dozens of battles, or meat grinders. The death toll climbing and climbing, showing no signs of slowing.
THE GREAT CRUSADE
This is where the XIVth legion came to find the system and first made contact. Compliance was comparatively bloodless and peace was negotiated between all parties involved. The small detachment of Death Guard that was leading this expedition fleet stayed on Anhalt III as the planet was brought back into the fold of the fledgling Imperium. Industrial facilities were upgraded and new training regimes were set up for the armies.
The population was trained and mobilized for action in the ongoing Great Crusade. Extra troop transports and capital ships were ordered to this system and the 1023rd expedition fleet swelled in size.
With just 10% of the population recruited for the Crusade, this was a hammer to break any planet that stood in the way of compliance. Many tried. Many lie in ruin.
THE HORUS HERESY
With the civil war sparked on Istvaan, life was changed forever. Agents of Horus had visited Anhalt and made attempts at subverting the system to the side of the traitors. Half of the states had declared for Horus. This war at home was the worst that the people had ever seen.
Millions of lives were wasted in battles and sieges that were seemingly without end. Neither side had the upper hand, attrition being the rule. The whole planet was mobilized and set in for the long haul knowing that there would be no help. Thinking that they were abandoned, those that stayed loyal to their oaths set their minds to defeating those that were sworn against them.
With the civil war started on their home world the 1023rd expedition fleet had troubles of their own.
While completing the compliance of 1023-14 another fleet, unknown to the commanders of 1023, ambushed them in high orbit. A number of transports, capital ships, and smaller craft were lost before the battle was won by the fleet of Anhalt. With such losses taken by the fleet and army it was decided that the compliance would be put on hold while the fleet returned home to refit and take on reinforcements.
On the return of the fleet to their home, they found the world in complete turmoil. Blood soaked fields, body choked rivers, towns and cities ruined. Never having seen devastation of this sort inflicted on his own people, the Lord Commander flew into a rage and readied his troops for planet fall. It was not hard to determine the loyal alliances. With this determined, the troop transports started disgorging division after division. Hundreds of thousands of men and women decended on the traitors like a hammer to smash a beetle. The astartes dropped into the rear areas to destroy the leadership of the traitors. Quickly the rebellion was over and peace brought back to Anhalt.
The small contingent of XIVth legionaries had discovered during boarding actions and through discoveries planetside that there was rebellion across the Galaxy, that Horus was at the head of it, and that their brothers had sided with him. All of these men, loyal to Terra, renewed their oaths to the Emperor and to Terra. The commanders of the militia did the same, making sure that the men and women under their command took oaths of loyalty.
ORGANIZATION
Due in part to the type of warfare so common in their history, and also to the influence of the XIVth during and after compliance, the armies fight in a defensive style. Trench fighting is this favoured doctrine, with heavy artillery and massed infantry dug in deeply. Many attacks will be weathered and cut down until the enemy has bled itself on the ground in front of the trenches. Then a mighty barrage will start, targeting the enemy support lines and known artillery and troop concentrations. As this barrage is going, the infantry will go over the top and storm the closest enemy positions in a hammer blow that they cannot recover from. The infantry then presses forward behind the cutting edge of the Grenadiers.
Though the armoured arsenal is extensive, it is used primarily as either a crisis response force, or for a speedy breakthrough should a campaign be drawing to a close. The reliance of Armour is seen by the culture of these armies as weakness. The strength of Anhalt is her infantry.
