IG v Tau 1000pts

This was an Anihillation mission. And the Tau was Anihillated. My tau lost 7 units out of 8 leaving only the Devilfish. I only managed to take out 2 IG units completely.

Lessons learned:

The Fish of Fury attack has failed twice now. I get into position and fire 24 shots , but only take out 2. Then my Firewarriors get destroyed by return fire. If I am to continue to try FoF attacks I need to find units out of cover. The IG's cover gave them 4+ saves. Out of cover they would have gotten no save because my weapon AP is enough to penetrate their armor. Another option is to deploy into cover. Also I need to check skimmer rules. I am not sure if I get cover saves with the Devilfish on a high base.

Also, my commander needs to be more active. I am afraid to use him, but when I did he does serious damage, especially against normal troops.

My stealthsuits need to be used better. Their armor saves kick butt. I need to use Jump-Shoot-Jump more.
