Strategic points: blue cricle
Infiltration: yellowish green circle
One Tac Squad was given infiltration thanks to Sicarius, my XV25's were infiltrating, and first time ever I infiltrated Kroots, which was probably biggest mistake in this game, but about that later.

Before game, after deployment:

Ok, first bad thing: SMs started infiltration. They infiltrated at the position forcing me to place XV25s further from Land Raider than I'd have wished. 
First turn
I was first, and so I moved Kroots, moved XV25's, commander left FWs who embarked into DF and sped behind those circular towers. XV25s with MD help and DF killed 4 SM, which is pretty good beginning. Kroots ran, because of nothing in range to shoot, but only 3". At least, they got cover from blastscape. Pathfinders markerlighted devastators with lascannons (they split into two teams: one with 2 lascannons and one with heavy bolters). Then Rail rifled one missed :S BUT FWs have killed one. Commander not having range because of going to have cover meant no more kills in this turn. Oh, and Hammerhead stunned Land Raider. Then of course XV25s and commander made their jumps.

After my turn:

First thing my friend Cygan made, was deep striking drop pod with sternguard. Uh-oh, which unit's gonna die...? Kroots. Well, there's nothing bad, what would not work out for good. At least, FWs are safe this turn. Devs' lascannons stunned DF, don't remember rest. Here are pics:

Board after game:

Tau win! With 3 fearless Fire Warriors having Ethereal within 3" of objective (white ruins) and Ultramarines with neither claimed nor contested objectives, Tau won battle! That means I can try to take off one of SMs territories. I roll 6, which means I can! So, this is campaign board after this battle:

We accepted rule that each player can build one building in his turn. So, I built Manufactorum:

Well, thats all.

In next battle report: SMs attack Tyranids!
