So who is better in your opinion when it comes to training, tactics, support, moral, equipment, experience and agility.
All kind of terrains are included ( desert, rain forest, death world, Hive World ).

And please be nice and use facts not wild imagination

Tau. Staunchly. The sheer range of them is enough, and they have a will to be there more than the guardsmen, even from cadia. Plus Tau equipment is more advanced. Though I will say the guardsmen, if they close to melee, would be a tough fight.

What is with you and all these versus threads?

Cadians might win it but Firewarriors have a very good chance as well. I'd say 55-45 in favour of the Firewarriors.

Well it was my assumption that I can ask whatever I want as long as it make sense.
And this is good competition, both sides are almost equal in everything and I am interested in people opinions.

You can ask whatever you want. The thing is you only seem to ask these kind of questions and a lot of the time these type of threads end up locked.

It doesn't make sense here.

It's really not and neither are they.

and I am interested in people opinions.

More like interested in stirring up the pot.

Down to the meat of it: what specific Cadians are we talking about? Your average joe Cadian Shock Trooper? Kasrkin? Whiteshields? Veterans?

Simply saying "Cadians" doesn't clarify anything. Cadians aren't a specific unit type like Fire Warriors are.

But if I had to break it down:
In long range firefights with no cover--advantage Fire Warriors.
In short range firefights with no cover--advantage Shock Troopers.

In long range firefights with cover--advantage Fire Warriors.
In short range firefights with cover--evenly matched.

In mid-range firefights with and without cover--they're evenly matched, again.

In all those circumstances, with Whiteshields--advantage Fire Warriors.
In all those circumstances, with Kasrkin--advantage Kasrkin.
In all those circumstances, with veteran Shock Troopers--advantage veterans.

No more of this crap please.

The next Trolling Tau thread will earn the member a short suspension.
