What can I say?
Every second hit I scored I rolled a crit.
And I had some pretty decent hits.
Not often my dice are on fire. And even less in this way...
I'll have to live on this for a while so I'll enjoy it while the feeling lasts!
I agree with BlackHorizon's conclusions;
After the initial 3 nova cannon hits the Tau fleet was badly hurt despite having the obviously better plan. (IMHO)
I "decided" to turn things around by anwering the Imperial luck in kind; with more luck!
And for once the dice-God Nuffle answered my pleas.
Last but not least; I own two of the incredibly shecksy Emissaries.
But they are indeed as crap as they look good.
