Seeing a presentation like this really helps clarify how you run your army.<br /><br />Since you count on reserved troops to go for late-game objective captures, how does your deployment plan affect how you place objectives for Capture & Control/Seize Ground? Do you keep the objectives around 12" from the board edge so you can sweep in and capture with one turn's movement (knowing the risk of attracting enemy troops to that position), or do you put them further out, hoping to kill enough of your opponent's forces to prevent them from contesting it before you can get to it?NockerGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07303047137184142349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-80042296925674815792010-01-15T22:42:29.092-05:002010-01-15T22:42:29.092-05:00Rathstar, I used to deploy, separating the army in...Rathstar, I used to deploy, separating the army in two groups and setting up in the two corners. It didn't really work against good players. Against others it was great, but good players would simply overwhelm one corner and cutting off the other group. Hard to explian here but when 75% of you opponents army attacks one corner and the other 25% hold the center, you're in for trouble. That's my experience at least. Of course, every plan has it's counter. Just got to keep adapting, something the tau are good at! :)Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680110160882762433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-16268052322552267692010-01-15T17:18:00.959-05:002010-01-15T17:18:00.959-05:00Hi,

I've said it enough times before, and I'm not going to stop saying it either, your army is the best Tau army ever!!!!Pearlygateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18125186425889801269noreply@blogger.com
