    As Tau, how do I beat eldar's cloaked units?

    I'm new to DC and just played against Eldar. They put up cloaked turrets and then attacked me with cloaked enemies. None of my units could attack anything cloaked and I couldn't figure out how to detect them. I ended up quitting. What should I have done or used?

    Pathfinders work nice if you manage to get them before the Eldar get cloaked Rangers. It's tier 2 though so you'll have to wait a bit if you're not too good with managing Tau tech.

    Failing that, Vespids work. But they're really expensive....

    ok thank you. Do all races have units that can cloak now?

    Can't remember all of em. Give and take entries, I guess.

    Space Marines : Scouts
    Chaos : Cultists, Chaos Space Marines
    Eldar : Rangers
    Orks : Gretchin Squad, Tankbustas*
    Tau : Stealth Suit*, Devilfish Transport*
    Necrons : All**

    * Starts infiltrated without research
    ** Only applicable if a Necron Lord has a Veil of Darkness artifact and units are within its radius.

    Apologies if I missed any units or made any mistakes. Can't remember all of em.

    Necrons do not have "cloaked units." Though the wraiths should be able to.

    Oh wait. the Necron Loard can take equipment that lets him cloak himself, & any unit near him.

    Wraiths don't cloak - their special ability is temporary invulnerability.

    Another option also is since a webway portal is what is cloaking the turrets, you can use the Missle barrage power from teh skyrays to engulf the area you suspect it to be at. Then again you would have pathfinders by then. Just throwing out a theorycraft option really. =)
