Thanks to Chang for this.
A Tau Listening post has been cornered by the Imperium. Cut off on all sides for any retreat the Tau must hold off or surrender. The Imperium war machine harasses the Tau listening post by long indirect mortar fire or by hidden sniper picking off fire warrior then retreating before the Tau can react. The casualties are high each day as they are cut off for 7 and half months. Broadsides and Hammerhead ran out off rail gun rounds to fend off the armor tanks. Each Fire warrior carries only one clip of ammunition. Soon the fuel for the tanks run out or malfunction and no Tau armor is able to move. The supply line is also cut off for the Tau so weapons, ammunition, and most important, food is at minimal. Starving the Tau follow after there Kroot allies and starts to eat the dead Tau, Kroot, and men. On the side of the Imperium they wait patiently for the Tau to starve. They have tried to out power the Tau and root them from there post but have cost them dearly. So the Imperium wait until the Tau are too weak to fight so they can finally sweep the Tau base without any hassle.
The Tau Shas'O has commanded to attack the Imperium bunker in the cover of night. It was either a slow death here or fight to your death there. The Tau crazed by starvation and hatred to the Imperium sneak up to an Imperium fire base. The Tau commanders do agree surprise is the best way since they are out numbered and only shelter by the night. The Shas'O sends Kroots and Stealth suits to recon and remove all the enemy patrol. The night is perfect a storm rolls in so gun shots cannot be heard and the light of the moon is gone (Doesn't have to be Tau and Imperium).
Game length: Fight to the death. "Before us is death, behind us is death so take your pick".
Line of Retreat: The Starved Tau will not take no for an answer and the Imperium has
this war in there grasp. Fight even after everyman falls but one
Tau: Over take the invaders fire base and repel their reinforcements. Leave no survivors.
Imperium: Protect the fire Base; repel the Tau force until the reinforcements come and out flank the enemy.
Play to the very last man. No negotiation. No compromise.
For Imperium they choose to take this unit along as a non patrol group. To represent this model use a mortar heavy weapon squad.
The Imperium found away to break Tau down from a range the Tau can even shoot back at. The Imperium would set a small team out off all the Tau small arm's range and give hell to the fire warriors.

| uh, this is completly a waste of time. if the tau are attacking a firebase, they will be search lights etc etc. the opposung side should get nightfight equipment to balance the vulgar amount of blacksun filters the tau will take |
