Quick question.... (probably a stupid one too...)

in the Tau army list, it refers to a crisis cadre as '4 crisis battlesuits' forgive my naive question, but does that refer to 4 bases of battlesuits?

Is there a generally accepted number of suits per base? the background dictates 3 crisis suits (3 minds, one purpose) but is this the same for broadsides and stealthsuits?

cheers!

Crisis Suits - Typically based 3 to a base.
Broadside Suits - A Light Vehicles they are based 1 to a base.
Stealthsuits - Most people use 5 or 3 to a base.

A Crisis Battlesuit Cadre is composed of 4 Crisis Battlesuit units. Crisis Battlesuits are Infantry so a unit (or stand) should have 3 to 7 models (see 1.1.2 main rule book) . Most people use 3 Crisis suits to a stand as that is more economical and is probably most representative of their stats.

Note that Broadside suits are Light Vehicles so should generally be one to a stand.
