I played against Keith's Tau last night. It was a battle (Fleet Engagement) 1250pts per side. I was attacking and was trying to win the Mezoa system. My sub-plot was "Fleet Experience".

Brief overview, we played to the end of turn 4 at which point we ran out of time. At this stage Keith was well ahead on VP's (400ish to my 170ish) but the game was about to get interesting. I lost a cruiser and a squadron of escorts plus I had one other cruiser crippled. It was all those Tau torpedoes that did it (as usual). I just didn't have time to close the gap and use my guns really. I had managed to cripple one of Keith's cruisers early on which disengaged before I could finish it. I also scored a lucky critical hit on his flagship which caused its shields to collapse. It was down to 3HP and defenseless when we had to finish - so close! On the upside I succeeded in my sub-plot while denying Keith his, so it's not all bad

I got 3 more renown to put me up to a total of 18 after 5 games.
