Hey all, I don't play tau, but play against them regularly, and have been getting spanked by broadsides.
I'm not super familiar with the Tau codex, but my opponents fields broadsides in groups of 3, and says they have wargear that allows the misslepods(?) and railguns to shoot at separate targets for each model, so up to 6 different squads may be hit by a unit of 3 broadsides. i.e broadside one shoots missles at one squad, railguns at another, broadside two does the same as does broadside 3.
He also says they have a 4+ invul save granted by wargear.
Is this possible?
