So,

I am playing in a campaign, and my next match-up is against Tau/Eldar.

I currently have +3 to initiative/Reserves and also 1 roll for a USR. (Hoping for interceptor for the forgfiend with the USR, then dropping it in range of the highest threat vehicle and blowing it up.

My opponent gets an extra 100 points from manufactorums and another 100 because I have 7 tiles to his 5.

Here is what I am thinking about running. I am expecting him to bring lots of marker lights and a lot of skyfire/interceptor stuff, so i'm opting to omit heldrakes. Otherwise, I would look at running 2 of them, especially since they will likely both hit on turn 2.
