Cover is still there but being able to bring your kills up to 50% (4+ cover) vs 16% (3+ armour plus 4+ FNP) is a really big step.<br /><br />Mech can be quite powerful in cities particularly if you have skimmers. I used the Devilfish to hop over buildings several times and I'm sure Mech Eldar would be even nastier on that front with their speed. But I do reccomend changing up your army if only for the fun of playing different models. <br /><br />We should definitely meet up for a city fight night at OSH or maybe at Dream Wizards. I'm down for that.Pete Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662176026555380093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690045076379408958.post-38302579304453679972010-02-12T09:17:48.516+01:002010-02-12T09:17:48.516+01:00In city fight AP2 just doesn't buy you as much...In city fight AP2 just doesn't buy you as much like you mentioned with the mass cover saves. You can try and remove cover with market lights, but that is 3 marker lights to get rid of it.<br /><br />For city fight I have to re-think my army. Mech doesn't work in rubble. Fielding wraithlords and harlequins could be fun for change.<br /><br />If you guys ever get plowed out maybe we can meet up at Old Shatter Hands and make a night of city fight.Mon-keigh Reaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608931535744147910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690045076379408958.post-4766040845372623432010-02-11T02:08:29.424+01:002010-02-11T02:08:29.424+01:00Hey Andy.

It's Old Shatter Hands' table (from the Tau of War) and it's a great little playing surface. <br /><br />You can see details on his polystyrene building at http://tauofwar.blogspot.com/2009/09/forgotten-art-of-homemade-terrain.html.<br /><br />It's a really great piece and looks even better in person.Pete Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662176026555380093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690045076379408958.post-39067961830136701382010-02-10T23:00:54.822+01:002010-02-10T23:00:54.822+01:00I'm still very jealous of the gaming table you...I'm still very jealous of the gaming table you get to play on.

I would go for small 10-15 count units and use them as a gunline from pockets of cover (woods for preference). With their weapons giving them +1A there isn't too much reason to assault with them in my view.<br /><br />The Feel No Pain really added a strategic element to the game on both sides though since OSH could use it on only one unit whenever he wanted. So I just had to put enough fire down that he was forced to choose which unit early on and then I could switch with the other firing squads. Still tough though.<br /><br />In an open ground scenario I would have been able to put more plasma/fusion/railgun fire down but having so much cover around really made it tough. Still, I'm planning to get really good at using Helios (Plasma/Fusion) suits to their best effect and let the Deathrains and Hammerheads do the long range stuff.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments though. I really want to play against Eldar sometime.<br /><br />PetePete Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662176026555380093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690045076379408958.post-40863553890774616062010-02-10T02:54:17.616+01:002010-02-10T02:54:17.616+01:00Kroot just never seem to work (from what I have se...Kroot just never seem to work (from what I have seen from OSH and our other Tau friend). I think everyone has/plays with them because they came in the battle force. I have never seen them tooled up with hounds and shapers, but then they lose their one appeal of being the cheapest thing Tau can buy.<br /><br />You are right that shooting would be better. I have routed 10 kroot with 6 D w/shoot Exarch. The lack of saves is what really get you. <br /><br />FNP can be a real pain. Luckily I play Eldar so I either have my S9 Prisms or S8 Dragons to insta kill the marines so FNP gets ignored. With Tau it is a bit harder to get the mass S8+ shooting, you have but loads of S5/S6/S7 and then some S10.Mon-keigh Reaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608931535744147910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690045076379408958.post-13703602176871931872010-02-09T15:49:16.091+01:002010-02-09T15:49:16.091+01:00Yes, leaping from rooftop to rooftop is the cooles...Yes, leaping from rooftop to rooftop is the coolest part of Tau in Cityfight. I want to get a bunch of those IMEX platformer/hexagon kits and make a really crazy 3d cityscape to play on. That would make for the most funky setup and it would be great to play a horde army swarming through the streets while the Tau desperately try to cut them down from above.Pete Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662176026555380093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690045076379408958.post-40082097179989510642010-02-09T15:43:19.286+01:002010-02-09T15:43:19.286+01:00It was a great game.
