New player here, game #3. Played my first game vs tau today;

+ Maelstrom missions

Final tally: 5 vp me, 7 vp tau. 180 scoring pts on board left for him on turn 6, 0 for me. Centurions with grav amps made mincemeat of everything starting from vehicle units down. His turn 6 got rid of the remaining 2 centurions.

Lack of mobility at the end (turn 5ish) cost me 2 vp to tie.

my army was 3 vindicators, 3 drops, 1- 7man tac squad, 2-3man centurion devastator squads with grav&missles.
His army, not sure names.. had one giant mech, one skimmer tank looking thing, ~6 smaller mechs, ~ lots of marker drones and fire warriors?

Centurions paid for themselves, vindicators didn't- likely because I didn't think I had LOS so I didn't think i could shoot it, so didn't try...May have made a meh decision with what i did shoot, though. Intercept didn't help him much. (Not sure what units can take it and cant, don't know if i knocked his only intercept unit out early or..)

No chapter tactics.
