I liked it when I was the only eldar player (both light and dark) player in my store.

that aside, maxing troop choices is a tactical option, but there are others.
Eldar still have troops that do a very good job of not dieing and holding objectives.
1. path finders
2. bikes (with certain finness, I think 6 man bike squads might become more popular)
3. waithguard

there are other options, like guardians with a cheer leader but will win plenty games. Most games your just put your pathfinders on a objective andmove the rest of your amy into position. The thing that makes me sad is that eldar aren't the transport heavy force that D. eladr are. I started playing eldar when I couldn't stand looking at min d. eldar minis any more.
