I hold my hands up and say I played badly. Never used orks before and I didn't get the best out of my boyz!

However had I ran forward into all that OW I'm pretty sure my formations would have been shredded. I was thinking of dropping both flying formations somewhere safe in my half turn one, and in hind sight that would have been a better idea than standing them down.

I agree with Hena that after a few games the Tau do feel slow for a force with so many skimmers. If this is another attempt to make them different to Eldar I don't think it works too well.

Still plenty of time to get games in before the August deadline Honda has set so get testing people!

I'll echo the comments I made on wiki too....

Another great report Mephiston.

There has been a fair bit of debate as to "how" the Tau should be played.  I would suggest that people read this report to see how Hena played the Tau, as this game shows what I believe is the "EA Tau way of war".
