Two teams of them, and depending on point levels, I either have two teams of two, or two teams of three. The team leader gets a hard wired target lock so that each team is capable of firing on two different vehicles each turn. I generally do so as well just to maximize their effectiveness unless I'm firing into a squadron. No need to tump three twin-linked railgun shots into a single vehicle in case the first shot does the trick.

If by that you mean that you shoot the target with your team leader first and wait if he manages to destroy the target, you can't do that. Target lock rules state that all targets must be declared before dice is rolled.

Indeed....I have not the slightest how you could possibly inference the assumption that you're making out of my post.

I think he means shooting several different targets with the same unit; at least that's how I run them. This broadside shoots the rhino, this broadside shoots the predator, and this little broadside, he shoots your dreadnought.

Don't you love it when we always hear advice from people who claims to play Tau when they aren't even familiar with how markerlight works?

It's ok :-). I just realized you are not on the same frequency.

Btw, I would really love to hear success stories with Fireknives. They never really worked for me.
