You had an 8 to 5 scoring units advantage, and your scorers where faster, more durable, and hiding in reserves as long as possible. <br /><br />Honestly, I don't know how a tau list like that did as well as it did with such weak sauce troops. Probably the big ass terrain that you could hide stuff out of line of sight with.
