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.
