Each Chimera was multi-laser/HB, 2 or so with heavy stubbers. Daisy the Demolisher had 3 HBs. The only critical mistake I had was not knowing the henchman squad had two purifier flamers - that hurt the vets (all grenadiers) that were clumped around where the assassin assault had carried on. Overall, I like games with a challenge, but those Tau IC/RA missiles made the game alot less fun and changed this from an even match to a can't win. I'm sort of thinking about the concept of allying in some marines just to create some flamer suicide IG vet squads using marine drop pods to just drop in the Tau backfield and toast them up. Or drop some $$ on the new IG artillery formation to get TL/IC artillery downrange...

May I ask why? A lot of veteran's strength is in their ability to take three of them to amplify their firepower considerably. If you're just looking for obsec squads, reduce three of the veteran squads to a platoon and hand out a few big guns.<br /><br />As far as this game, that Tau formation was practically designed to piss IG players off. No cover, rear armor shots! On a unit that can ignore 1-3 ordinance shots a game, causing them to become wasted?!? Wow...lame. IG doesn't have a good answer to that unit except hitting it again and again and praying for some luck. Here is where special weapons on veterans matter. They'll not like a salvo of plasmagun fire coming their way so you can overwhelm it.This Is A Helmethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332470309760438304noreply@blogger.com
