Did I mentioded that this is the 1st time I use snap fire(for all units)
I am still not a big fan but ere we go
1st Manta landing soak up fire from 2 Firestorms but lost only 1 shield
2nd Manta did not land but was full of jump pack equipped troops or skimmers.
Eldar troops hold fire until troops disembark
Snap fire, fire on the fly, and activations caused some problems.
How is 1st fire on the fly or snap fire
?
3rd Manta a
tuched down like the 1st one but looses 3 shields due to Firestorm fire
again Eldar troops hold fire
Tau troops disembark under heavy fire from dug in Eldar forces
while more air support is joining the game
Jet bikes counter charged Tau battlesuits and destroyed several of them
some of the little blueskins fight brave and survived, though.
During the advanced segment the Tau forces start to secure(clean) the 1st objektives
while Eldar counter attacks stayed harmless(horrible dice rolls on both scout titans)
Turn 2 the last jetbikes attacked a damaged battlesuit unit and wiped it out entirely
loosing 5 stands in return
Prism cannons concentrated thier fire on one Manta and mnaged to strip it from all its shields but got reflected from the mighty beast´s armour
Tau airforce coming in
Turn3
its getting dark for the Eldar
only the centered lines are still intact.
But now the space elfes are outnumbered by 3:1
rest is coming
