The General had his forces rally in the city of Avin Lake, where seized key civilian industrial complexes on the planet.  However, General Garibaldi was not man who wishes head-on actions, but without seizing city Biden's military complexes, choices were few.  On the 29th of December, marked beginning of a five-day campaign by a battalion's worth of Kamata warriors who bloodied the Defenders from being able to go on the offensive.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', pp. 56, 87: Betelgeuse (December-Ongoing) & The Andurien Wars - Deployment Table for Andurien Wars, showing where the defenders were deployed</ref>

However, things changed for Confederation forces as [[Warrior House Hiritsu]] arrived on planet in early July.  On their arrival, the Hiritsu's MechWarriors combat dropped onto the Anduriens' rear areas which disrupted the Defender's efforts. General Garibaldi was forced to wheel back all forces which had seemingly been inching to victory over their Kamata forces.  The Hiritsu lances of BattleMechs in the defenders' rear areas destroyed number of small supply and ammunition depots. Major John Humphreys was given charged in hunting down reinforcements in the rear areas.  Wasn't until September after initial success were achieved few months prior, did Anduriens achieve any luck on their hunt.  Humphreys' command company stumble over grouping of Hiritsu Warriors.  The Major ordered the attack without reinforcements, trying prevent them slipping away from them as they themselves would have to wait for reinforcements.  In the ensuing battle, Major Humphreys was killed after short but fierce battle with Liao Warrior house.  Major Humphreys' death lead to Duchess Humphreys dispatch additional reinforcements to secure Betelgeuse.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', pp. 59–60: Betelgeuse (Ongoing) - Campaign still raging on through 3031</ref>
