I went to Ryan's house today to
participate in his first game of Warhammer 40,000.
Once again the point range was 500 points per army.
This time we limited the game to 6 turns (per the rule book)
Result:
- Imperial Guard suffered 58% casualties (24 of 40 troopers +
Chimera)
- Tau suffered 69% casualties (10 Kroot, 6 of 10 Fire Warriors)
We both rolled pretty much the
same (lousy). The Tau have powerful weaponry, but shoot as well
as my Guardsmen!
What I learned: The Guard is pretty
weak at ~500 points, no ordinace without violating roster validation
rules.
