The set-up of initial forces had the Eldar surrounded on both sides.
The Tau reinforcements arrived first with a Devil fish and a Hammerhead. The ensuing shooting resulted in the Vyper and two guardians being lost. The hammerheads solid shot was deflected by the wave serpents protective shield.
The Eldar turn saw their reinforcements arrive in the form of an Autarch on jetbike with shining spears and guardian jetbikes. The Autarch and shining spears turbo-boosted towards the hammerhead, whilst the guardian jetbikes headed by a warlock headed towards the Kroot. The Eldar shooting was minimal and ineffective with no causalities on the Tau side.
The Tau reacted with the destruction of all of the guardian jetbikes apart from the warlock who went on to kill 5 of the Kroot with a blast from his psychic destructor. They subsequently ran away in terror at the loss of their brethren. The shining spear exarch destroyed the hammerhead in close combat. Meanwhile the Tau were slowly reducing the guardians in the ruins. A deep-strike by a Tau commander saw the destruction of the wave serpent by a well placed fusion blast. Unfortunately his mind was subsequently shredded by the Farseer.
Additional firing in later turns saw all of the guardians and the war walker cut down, with the Farseer leaving the table. The shining spears managed to destroy the burst cannon on the Devil fish, but they too were finally cut down. The Autarch cut a swath through the fire warriors who had disembarked from the Devil fish cutting them all down when they tried to flee.
The end of game saw only the Autarch left to report back as to the loss of their brethren.
Final score: Victory to both the H'Rus Expeditionary Force and the Y'ieldi Saemu.
