Now it starts of with a 500 point game on both sides. 250 pts extra for the tau player as SM is the purser.

SM: 2 Strike Cruisers (SC) and a bunch of escorts ( 4 swords*)

Tau: 2 Explores (flag) and 3 oca's* escorts
250 bait army consist of just a hero.

SM Turn 1: Moves towards the Tau hero cruiser with AAF (all ahead full) orders launch's his thunderhawks (TH )from his SC.

Tau Turn 1: Hero moves away from fleet at max normal speed with a 45 degrees turn at the end. Then comes the reinforcements of 2 explores and escorts. Lunching a massive 16 bomber waves and 2 fighters from the hero.

SM Turn 2: Uses reload ordnance (RO) order, all pass and moves towards the lone hero.

Tau Turn 3: Hero comes abeam and explores move forward at minimum speed and passes RO. Thunderhawks tries to intercept bombers, but had little effect. Only taking out 2 waves from 16. Next turn he'll have to lunch all 4 TH again. Then my mass bomber waves of 14 attack his fleet and mostly concentrated on one SC and thus crippling it with those lucky roles of 6's.

SM Turn 3: Then realise he cannot win this engagement and with high leadership (LD) the SM successfully disengaged only suffering a crippling SC which keep the SM at minimal damage.

Results: Due to the rules, he gets victory points at 100% of every ship that comes onboard the table. While i only get 10% because of a disengaged cripple cruiser.

Points: Tau with 15 pts while SM gets 490 pts!

SM successfully escapes with minimal casualties.
