| If you're spending over 100pts per Tau HQ choice then you really need to rethink their role in regards to your armies success. Shame on you if you even read the Commander Bodyguard entry twice..

| I never take bodyguards. I just take a commander with a Shield Generator, Plasma Rifle, Airbursting Fragmentation Grenade, HW Multi Tracker, Stimulant Injector

| so what do you do about those pesky fast moving people that catch you with power weapons or those weapons/shooters that ignore cover save that would kill you in one shot. Isnt keeping your commander alive worth the points for the shield generator. I am not tryin to sound like a smart a** I am seriously asking.

| You shoot them first or ignore them. A draw is not a loss.

| Ultimately its not a win, you only get points for a draw because they had to make the game fair somehow.

For a guy who loses....ALOT......A draw would be ausome......you don't need to win every game in history. I'm waking up and realizing that now. Maybe why I'm back with the Knights. I loved the challange of these guys......now with 5th, they were be more formidable. A better challange. can't wait till my first game with the new rules. Hopefully in a couple more weeks I'll be set!

| This thread makes me giggle.
Especially CJ's post. Anyone want to start a betting pool for CJ's 'restarts'?

| Thats not funny Matt......YEA IT IS LOL!!!!! I have faith that CJ may actually settle down with an army for once. Who knows maybe this one but ohh well. I was just making the point that while a draw does not mean a loss it also does not mean a win witch means you have ultimately loss anyways.

| ultimately, playing for fun is what really matters. They created draws for suckers like me...who play the models they like using the fluff they like.
So my shitty Tau army can at least be fluffy...and I have a (slight) chance of not losing...

| My 13th Company was a draw machine.
Haven't played enough of 5th to know how the new missions treat them.

really you're not too bad off...since your Troop Choices are so freaking sweet.
As per the "normal" scenarios...Marines in general suck at lower levels...it's tough to claim objectives when you can only get three troop choices on the board at 1K...
