Hi There!
The second battle of our "Green world" campaign took place at home.
As usual my son leads the Tau and their Kroot mercenaries while myself toke command of the Imperial Guard and Squat allies.
The expansionist Tau empire launched a lot of coordinated attacks over key points on Salix II , one of the rich food and mineral producer imperialīs worlds.
Trying to capture an important crossroad Tau forces deployed fast from Devilfish vehicles and launched a simultaneous attack from north and west.
Squad forces performs very well and killed or routed all the Kroots, on this part of the battlefield seems to be an orbital jamming attack because vehicles and Tau High-tech suits seems to be out of order ( a LOT of failed activation rolls).
Meanwhile Imperial troopers was caught in the open and despite an initial success they was unable to hold the crossroad and suffers an horrendous crossfire killing or wounded the most of them.
At this time Squats received the desperate order of take the crossroad at all cost, and was a complete carnage, Tau soldiers fired at squats from various sides killing them all!
A complete Tau victory , another fun FUBAR game, a great father-son time, an awful English AAR… what more can we ask?!!!
