I played against my friend and fellow forum member Droneslayer. This was his second game and the first one was almost a year ago so we agreed to play a smaller 2000p game with no aircraft or WE. It was also my first battle with Tau so I was happy to play a smaller game to start get a feel for the army, please do point out stuff you think I should have done to better utilize the strength of the Tau army.
I've done a picture compilation of the battle.
Tau win the strategy roll but let the imperials have the initiative.
End phase:
Everone rallies except for the Tau recon formation.
The inf company in the forest used it's overwatch on something. I think it most have been the FW but they didn't kill anything.
Edit: At the end of turn one. I started counting my activations and was confused because I was lacking one and then I realized that I had compleatly forgot to deploy my kroot formation. My opponent graciously let me deploy them on my second turn in one of the building close to my deployment zone.
Turn 2:
Tau win initiative to the rogue riders dismay...
End phase:
All rally except for the tanks and recon.
Turn 3.
Tau gets the initiative again.
Turn 3 ended with us both having one Objective, blitz for me and BTS for Droneslayer, due to closing time of the place we had to stop there.
It was a highly enjoyable game and it was a lot of fun to try my Tau forces. Thanks Droneslayer!
Cheers everyone!
