NetEA Tau Vs Eldar 3000 points

        Another game with Kal. Kal hosted at his casa. Same old same old. I am pushing around the Tau and Kal the Eldar. We own other armies, but we are stuck. Maybe once we get a regular gaming schedule, those other armies will appear. With Cold Wars around the corner and AdeptiCon creeping up on us. We are training with our tourney choices.

This was a non drinking event. Way too many Amish on the county roads to be slamming beers.

Lessons learned.

* Kroot spilling out on an Orca is a waste. Kroot garrisoned is a bigger threat and area denial asset. * * Crisis or FWs should be loaded in Orcas

* Failed to Teleport on turn two

* Failed to remember my air assets on CAP. Had a chance to shoot down the BTS!

* Tiger Sharks are an expensive 175 point to dump drones. They are as effective as Cudas. 275 points wasted.

* Too many cheap, one and done, units. Drones, stealth, 3 detachments of kroot.
