3000 point Epic Tau Vs Eldar

 Tau Vs Eldar Iyanden 3000 points standard tourney scenario.

         We hit up Six Feet Under in New Holland, Pa. The place is fully stocked. They have 6 beautiful gaming tables. Ones I wish I had! There is tons of parking, Subway two doors down, and sodas for $1.25.

         Of course the normal crap job of battle reports continues. I took a few pictures and never wrote down turn 3.

I stopped writing stuff down and focused on not screwing myself.

I ended up winning 3-0 Blitz, DTF, & TSNP. Looks bad for Kal, but it was a dice revolt. The Vamp and troops aboard failed to to show up. Missing hits and failing saves were abnormally high. If the dice were even, he would have run me into the ground.







Leasons;

* With blades have no FF ability.

*Manta is a slow beast. Hard to get into position.

* Again I failed to use the terrain to my advantage. I also need to sit tight while a slower army walks into range.

  1. Heh, those tables look like the ones they had at the Battle Standard in Auburn, MA. I wonder if he picked some up from them when they closed.
