Another battle report in brief story form.  My opponent had a 2 hour time limit to play within, so it was good to practice under that constraint.  It was interesting to try out a list where I swapped out a las-plas Razorback for a drop pod, Deathwind launchers in both pods, and a few other minor tweaks.  The concept was to save the second pod for objective grabbing in the opponent's backfield.  Having Tigurius helped make sure the reserves arrived when I needed them.  The opponent was learning how to use his Tau, so there were some issues there for him such as a lack of interceptor.  Overall, it was a fun friendly game that could have been the start of a great campaign narrative. I gave him my thoughts on how he could have done better, such as not reserving the Kroot - with all the woods, that mob could have been in my lines pretty quickly.  Instead, they came in to deal with the Sternguard en masse, and the Deathwind began chopping them up and they fled.  Fun stuff!
