How did he run it, with 2 SS's? They seem to be somewhat vulnerable to lack of ML's, but also knights are a bad opponent for them.

How do you play the drone factory? Do you allow them to come in, drop their drones and then leave as that seems to be an oversight in the rules? I played around with Battlescribe and could combine the drone net with the factory and still had points left for riptides and a SS.

Tau have so much goodness now that getting everything to one working build is tough. I'd like to play a Ghostkeel in the OSC formation, but just can't fit it in if I play Riptides, drone net and crisis suits+commander. And to think of adding even one SS there?

The French Overlord has been doing very well with the OSC, that is a great formation.

Frankie runs 2 SS with the Riptide Formation. It is brutal. He's beaten a Knight army before but this time he just didn't get the 6's on the D missiles he needed to stop them before they tore into the Surges and gutted him.
