I like this. There to hits should be VERY good. At least 4+. But their
CAF's should be capped. +4 sounds good.

I agree.  Tau are terrible in CC.  Their only respectable units are Battlesuits and they can barely hold their own against vanilla Assault Marines in 40K (they will usually wind up losing as they are outnumbered).  They should rock at the shooting and suck at the bashing.  A Tau player who is using Tau units to assault is either crazy or desperate.

I'd like to add a couple of new units based on the new Tau Empire book and the current version of the Tau E:A list.  I'll have details soon.

On another note, if "defensive fire" is desired. Why not just give
infantry a "free" fire action versus units that engage them in close
combat? It simulates their ability and no pesky rerolls.

I'm not keen on this.  Units on First Fire can already fire defensively at their attackers and to introduce new rules would just complicate things.  Tau who expect to be assaulted should either A- go on First Fire and hope they hit or B- plant their head between their legs and kiss their behind goodbye.

I like the Tau list the way it stands without the Defensive Fire and with lower CAFs.
