    3:26 I believe when you play the strategic ploy Shhhh you dash all the eligible models before the firefight phase of the turning point begins.

      It's also worth noting that the free Dash happens outside of an activation, so when you do activate an Ork model, they can dash again as part of their activation. You can cover alot of ground this way and get across the board and get Krumpin' much quicker 😁👍🏻

      Another fun thing to do with orks is the pregame Sneaky Git tactical ploy in conjunction with the rope equipment. You forward deploy the rokkit boy in a vantage point, pop off a rokkit, then drop down is one of my favorite opening plays. You gotta use your scout phase to take him out of conceal though.

    I played my Tau vs Fellgor in my league championship. Markerlights are a trap. I played without a marker drone. I used the bonded ploy every round and got the re-roll that a markerlight would give without wasting the action. I think in the entire match i used markerlight once or twice and won 14-9. Especially with ample Vantage use the bonded ploy instead. I think the Tau player missed his Recon Suite ability too (from the Recon drone). I think you played the movement onto vantage right, two cricles to climb and one to move forward (as long as you start within triangle of the terrain.

    Question! I’m very new to this but from my understanding, in turning point 1. If your units start with conceal they stay with conceal. You can’t switch to engage or viceversa until the next turning point. Is this correct?

    Im a little confused why you think you messed up the rules 5 minutes in.
    You said you had a free dash from Mont’ka, which should bring you within 1” of that support pillar, which should be scalable. Then 2 circles of normal move to ascend (since rounding up) and 1 circle to move horizontally?

    • @MiniatureGameMontage
      @MiniatureGameMontage  11 месяцев назад +1

      So correct, free dash forward. Then 2 circles of movement up, then technically we went further than one circle. There's a picture in the rulebook that had me hung up.

    • @MiniatureGameMontage

      It’s 2 AP to perform. It’s a tac op. An operative can perform this action while on a Vantage Point that is not within your drop zone and has not been secured by friendly operatives. An operative cannot perform this action while within engagement range of enemy operatives. If this action is performed by friendly operatives, that Vantage Point has been secured by friendly operatives.

      If you achieve the first condition with a different vantage point at the end of any subsequent Turning Points, you score 1VP.

  • @daaaah_whoosh
    @daaaah_whoosh 10 месяцев назад

    Some things I notice, as a Tau player (who's so far been playing Compendium): round 1 the Shas'ui should have fired his gun instead of his markerlight, he's got better BS than most of the squad. Round 2 I think that ork at objective 2 took three actions (disengage tech, charge, fight). It also seems like you're wasting both the Drone Controller and the Gun Drone by using both of them to do the work of one operator. The Markerlight drone also doesn't seem to be doing any good, might've been better to pair them with the Drone Controller and let the Gun Drone shoot (full rerolls!). I also don't think you use the Analyze ability from the Recon Drone (again, full rerolls! and chain activation!). Aside from that I think the orks made the smart move to rush up the board early to secure those midfield objectives, hard to beat that without strong melee.

    • @MiniatureGameMontage
      @MiniatureGameMontage  10 месяцев назад

      Thanks! If the Ork took an additional activation he might have been given +1 APL from another operative. I can't remember. The Tau have really been a struggle for me.

      @@MiniatureGameMontage Yeah that's partially why I've been using the Compendium list, I got it down to six datasheets and nine operators. In fact, now that I check, were you running one or two Pathfinders short? Wahapedia says 13, but I can't tell if that factors in the dataslate nerf or not. In Hunter Cadre the Recon drone counts as 2 operatives but I don't think Pathfinders have that limitation.
