Basically I play 3 or 4 people regularly and it is always an all out murderfest. Objective claiming is never involved. The reason I fielded the Harlequins was because in every other game I have played against my flatmate, he has been able to shoot my men as they run towards him. Because I tried somethign different (mass amounts of units deepstriking/outflanking) they were very surplus to requirements. Though he's now aware of the danger such a strategy poses to him now, he won't fall for it so easily the next time.
Until he has a job or big wadge of cash, his army isn't going to change much I think, but he now knows he can put Kroot in reserve and outflank also. Not sure how smart having a single squad approaching from the sides would be, but if he were to get into CC with something that couldn't fight back too good (Guardians for instance) it could completely wreck my non-CC units as they approach the line for shooting. The Avatar could help I suppose but if a big enough squad gets into CC with him, he will succumb to those 6's to wound. My lucky armour save rolls would only go so far.
Maybe another squad of Scorpions to help defend the advancing Eldar line? I guess keeping my men away form the sides of the board would help too and if my Farseer could doom or Guide (depending on what powers I give) the appropriate unit, even a well placed volley of Shuriken Fire could help thing their numbers a fair bit. Perhaps from a Dire Avenger squad? Not much on the CC front, but capable of unleashing a bladestorm or using defend to help lower the number of attacks they get?
Any suggestions that would help would be muchos appreciated. Having finally won a 1vs1 I would like to win again.
