again with a better view on the squat side
my opponent deployed only on both flanks
which confused may plan a bit
I thought he would deploy his bike comps. in the middle facing my battlesuit cadre kroot and stealth units
but he tried to attack the heavily defended hill on the far right tau side

Tau left wing
Recon Cadre
Tetra detachment
Hammerhead Cadre
3 Fire Warrior units
Stingray detachment

My plan was it, to charge with the Recon cadre into a good position behind some buildings,
which would allowded me to light up targets, for the sting and skayray tanks, with their markerlights
but...

...I can´t resist to charge some berserkers, which ended in a bloody hand to hand combat, between 2 berserker units and the recon cadre+the tetras

TURN 1

the Recon Cadre did a good job and killed 6 berserkers
with average casualties
The exchange pleasantries on the (tau) left side was quiet boring
due to "being out of range, keeping it for advanced"
the cyclops managed to destroy a building with 2 fire warriors inside and did some other casualties
the battlesuits in the middle picked up some bikes from guild biker comp. No.3 which charged a stealth suit unit

GuildBiker comp. No.2 No.1 charged the hill on the (tau) right flank
they only reached 4 pathfinder and some fire warriors
a units of fire warriors counter charged the bikers bad...very bad idea only 1 of them survived
all pathfinder get killed in close combat as 1 bike and another 2 through the pathfinder´s first fire
in return the tau units on the hill nearly wiped out guild Biker comp. No.2 and killed more bikes from No.1(blue)
The Colossus killed somthing, like every round the list of his victims is long
many units out of range

The right Squat side
my friend is a big fan of first fire
so most of that units were out of range
