Thought you would like to hear

Did a battle today!!!!

Tau vs. Harlequins

At first, I thought that I was going to get worked, as he had tanks with Template weapons, and the first turn was fairly ugly, I lost my Venom (there was just not enough cover) and I lost about 6 harlequin Troops some from the explosion, and others from the other template.  Then it was my turn.  I Took out one of the tanks with the Cannon, and the other I destroyed the weapon.  Very lucky for me.  Then it was just a matter of time.  As he is primarily a shooty army.  All but two of my jesters were armed with the shrieker cannons and they did a number with quite a few tau exploding and then there were the Bikes.  The catapaults were very effective today for some reason.  The solitaire charged one of his two suits, and I thought I was going to kill it, but believe it or not, I could not, and then I thought for sure that I was going to get squashed, but I was spared by the dice gods (praise be to the laughing god).  Then I was charged in the rear by the other suit, and he missed as well, something about those Domino Fields gotta love em.  Then the support came, a hole unit of 9 Troopers came to help the estranged one, and with thier help (like he needed it) killed the two suits.

It was fun, did not think I was going to do that well, has anyone else had this type of luck with the tau, or is this really just a mis-match.  And it always happens that way?

You really need more cover and that was about it.  It was a nice job just you REALLY should make more cover.  Also more BL's would work a HECK of a lot better vs. TAU  But I would keep it 50/50 half shriekers and half BL's.

Mind me asking, but what was your army list? And what was your opponents?
If you notice this notice you will notice that this notice is not worth noticing.

Well done - it sounds like it was a great deal of fun.

If you havent already, I suggest you do up this batrep nicely and send it on up to the Campaigns and Batreps forum.  Remind them that there are still Harlequins fighting - and you get a chance to show off your writing skills too.

Congrats on the win.
