This campaign uses the jungle fight rules found here: http://uk.games-workshop.com/imperialguard/catachan%2Drules/1/In short the amount of terrain is greatly increased from the norm of 25-50% that I usually see to easily 70-90%. This
map included a single clearing with some ruined walls and a long trail with a clear hill and an area of dangerous terrain.
Thats it, all the rest was jungle.
My Tau, the Or'es Shi cadre:
Irregulars 8 Firewarriors, bonded, shas'ui
-Devilfish APC, multi tracker, targeting
array, decoy launchers
Team Alpha 8 Firewarriors, bonded, shas'ui
-Devilfish APC, multi tracker, targeting array, decoy
launchers
Believe it or not I can actually fit 2 skimmers in a 400 point game. Both FW squads came in at exactly 100
ponts, both skimmers were also exactly 100. 400 on the nose. The Devilfish just squeezes into the armor requirements
for combat patrol.
Second Tau
10 Firewarriors, shas'ui, bonded
10 Firewarriors, shas'ui, bonded
Crisis Battlesuite,

groups. Both my tanks sat behind the hill.

Irregulars rush into the jungle. Team Alpha rushes up to their spot. Both teams rapid fire into the larger of the
remaining enemy Firewarrior squads, kill all but shas'ui who sticks. Alpha Teams Devilfish kills all but the other teams shas'ui
who sticks.
Tau Team 2
First Shas'ui fails last man standing test and runs, other makes it and sticks. Moves forward
and kills 1 member from the Irregulars.
Results:
